The Process of an Unattended Direct Cremation
Registration of Death: As with all funerals, the first step is to register the death and obtain a death certificate and the necessary cremation paperwork. You will have to register the passing in the area where they have passed and not necessarily where they live.
Collection of your loved one: Our bespoke funeral care arranger will arrange the collection of your loved one from the place of passing, such as a hospital, hospice, nursing home or home.
Preparation: The loved one is prepared for cremation in either their own clothing or in a funeral gown, typically without embalming, and placed in a simple, respectful coffin.
Cremation
No Service: The cremation takes place without a preceding funeral service or attendees. Your loved one will be taken to the crematorium by one of our funeral directors, normally early morning. This is carried out with the same respect and dignity as any other cremation. You will be informed of the date the cremation will take place so a moment of reflection can take place.
Ashes Collection and Return:
Collection of Ashes: After the cremation, the ashes are collected and either delivered to the family home buy our funeral director or the family can collect them from Bespoke funeral care. You can choose to keep them, scatter them in a meaningful location, have them interred into an ashes plot or existing grave or placing them in a columbarium. Some families hold additional memorial services or ceremonies to scatter them and hold a private memorial later.
