Cremations

Candles burning in remembrance on a grave

Simple, dignified, unhurried

Our cremation services vary in scale from low-key to more elaborate, according to the family's wishes. Some families choose a quiet direct cremation with a private farewell; others gather for a full chapel service before the cremation.

Whichever you choose, your loved one never leaves our care, and every step is documented and witnessed on request.

After the cremation

Many families keep the urn at home, place it in our columbarium niche, or scatter ashes in a meaningful place. We help with memorial services, ash scattering ceremonies and permanent markers.

  • Columbarium niches and memorial plaques in our garden wall
  • Scattering ceremonies at sea or in our remembrance meadow
  • A memorial service now, or months later when family can gather
