Our Traditional Cremation Service
In the UK, an increasing number of people are choosing to cremate their loved ones rather than choosing a traditional burial. We offer traditional cremation services in Blackpool, Fleetwood, Cleveleys & Preston.
There are a number of reasons you might choose a cremation service rather than a burial service, including:
- Cremations services are generally cheaper than a burial service
- With families and friends often dispersed in many different places, having a burial site for them to visit is often impractical
- Many people request a cremation service after their death because they don’t want their family to feel obligated to visit their gravestone
- Cremation allows family members to spread ashes where they wish, perhaps somewhere that was significant to the deceased such as a beach or favourite park. Burial is very restrictive in this sense.
- Cremation allows the ashes to be split, so family members can keep a part of their loved one, and choose to celebrate and remember them in their own way.
- If you move home, you can take an urn with you. This is impossible to do if you choose the traditional burial option.
- A Cremation service is arguably more eco-friendly
The Traditional Fixed Price Cremation Service costs £2295

Can I have a Church Service with a Cremation?
This a big misconception. A lot of people believe they need a burial in order to have a religious service in a church. Often, this is not the case. Services can take place at churches or other places of worship with a cremation following afterwards.
If you wish to have a church service prior to committal at the crematorium we will arrange this and do not charge any extra. Please note, that the church may charge you. We will, of course, advise you of the cost but this is usually between £182.00 – £380.00 depending on the venue.
