Highest standard of care

Every bereaved family deserves to know what they should expect from a reputable Direct Cremation provider. 

All funeral directors have an ethical obligation to serve each family in a professional and caring manner, being respectful of their wishes and confidences, being honest and fair in all dealings with them, and being considerate of those of lesser means.

Firms have an ethical obligation to care for each deceased person with the highest levels of respect and dignity, and to transport, prepare and shelter the remains in a professional, caring and conscientious manner.

Firms have an ethical obligation to the public to offer their services and to operate their businesses in accordance with the highest principles of honesty, fair dealing and professionalism.

Firms have an ethical obligation to their staff to both operate their businesses in accordance with legislation and to treat their staff fairly.

A funeral without the service

A direct cremation is a modern alternative to a traditional cremation funeral. The cremation takes place completely separately from the personal farewell, allowing families to create their own special remembrance in their own time. It’s perfect for people who don’t like funerals.

 

Families tell us that creating a beautiful funeral with the ashes urn or a favourite photograph as the focal point is less daunting and more accessible.


21st century

21st Century reassurance

We use hospital-style tracking technology to ensure that the correct remains are returned to you, PLUS Charlton Park Crematorium uses a ceramic identifying disc to give every family tangible confirmation of the identity of the ashes.


This disc, bearing the cremation number, is placed on the coffin just before it enters the cremation chamber, recovered with the remains afterwards and presented within our unique ashes container. These attractive boxes are made from 100% recycled materials.
