Direct Cremation Service

Here at NC Funeral Directors, we provide Direct Cremation Services across Lancashire, from our offices in Blackpool, Preston, Fleetwood and Cleveleys.

From the moment you get in touch, our professional, compassionate, and respectful team of funeral directors will go above and beyond to support you through this difficult time.

For us, it’s about ensuring that your loved one’s cremation is handled with care and dignity. We also provide compassionate & professional guidance and support throughout the entire process.

We provide personal, face-to-face guidance and advice throughout, ensuring that our services meet your needs.

What is a Direct Cremation?

Our direct cremation services do not include a traditional service, funeral procession or the attendance of family or mourners. Instead, a direct cremation is a simple and respectful cremation for those who wish, for whatever reason, not to have an open service for family and friends.

The coffin is led down the crematorium aisle just like a tradition cremation, and placed on the catafalque, by our uniformed staff. This service is carried out with the utmost respect and dignity.

Our Direct Cremation Service Includes:

All funeral directors fees and services
Provision of all cremation service arrangements
Funeral Director in attendance with staff at the cremation
Reposing your loved one into our care
Personal care of your loved one until the day of the funeral
Viewing of your loved one in our private chapel of repose by appointment Monday – Friday in normal working hours
An environmentally conscious coffin suitable for cremation
Certificate of Cremation
All associated crematorium fees and charges
Ashes provided for you to collect in a beautiful scatter tube

Optional Extras

Solid Oak Casket for the Ashes to be returned in – £100

Although mourners are unable to attend the cremation you will be informed of the date and time the cremation will take place to enable you to have your own private thoughts.
