If your loved one would not have wanted to be the center of attention, or to cause others to make a fuss, then a Direct Cremation may be right for them. It is an increasingly popular type of service in the UK that strips back some of the traditional elements of a funeral, such as processions or floral tributes. Usually, they are unattended, although we can arrange for guests, if you would like. If you decide you would prefer this type of ceremony in Bath, we can sort it out for you: we would bring your loved one to the crematorium, and then, following the ceremony, we can return their ashes to you by hand at home, or we can arrange to have them scattered at the crematorium’s garden of remembrance, as per the wishes of your loved one. With this type of funeral, you can do right by your loved one, giving them a brief but dignified send-off.
There’s no getting around the fact that a funeral is an expensive thing to consider at the best of times, and we know it is important to be clear with you about that at the outset. We hope that it brings you some comfort to know that this type of ceremony is likely to be a lot cheaper than others. The average British funeral cost is sometimes more than twice as high as an Aura funeral, and we could arrange things for you in Bath for as little as £1,195. If you would like to receive a quote for the ceremony you have in mind, we would be pleased to assist you over the phone.
We would be honoured to support you in making the ceremony as unique and reflective of your loved one’s spirit as possible. We have a range of ways in which we could help you: Lots of people like to provide some personalised words about their loved one to the celebrant at the crematorium, which they can say at the beginning of the ceremony. Others like to make sure that the ceremony is attended and can be experienced by friends and family. If you would like to give us a call, we can discuss things together and make sure that we arrange something that does right by your loved one, and respects your wishes.
Once we have talked together about what you would like to arrange, we can get to work and provide you with a bit more of an accurate time scale. Of course, every funeral is different, and they take different times to deliver. To give you an initial idea of things, we can organise one of our more personalised funerals in Bath within a fourteen-day period, but other funerals will take a longer time to organise. We will do our utmost to keep you updated every step of the way, but if you ever feel you need a specific update, then you only need to call us.
To put it simply, we will be there for you every step of the way. Supporting you through these difficult times is exactly where our expertise lies. Our special team of Angels is there to do all of the organisational legwork for you, and they will help you to express your ideas by talking to you about what you need. We want to release you from the admin planning, allowing you to give your time where you think it is needed most.
