What is a Memorial?
A memorial for a cremation combines the simplicity of direct cremation with the option for families to hold their own memorial service at a time and location that suits them. Unlike traditional funerals, there is no formal service at the crematorium; the cremation takes place without attendees.
Afterward, the ashes are returned in a simple container, allowing families to organise a private memorial or celebration of life in a location of their choice. This flexibility enables families to plan a service that feels personal and appropriate—whether at home, a community hall, or a favourite local spot.
