Simple And Affordable Direct Cremation

Direct cremation is a simple, cost-effective alternative to a traditional funeral designed for families seeking a dignified farewell without a formal service. It allows you to say goodbye in your own way and at a time that suits your family, offering flexibility and peace of mind during an emotionally challenging time. This option ensures a respectful and personal farewell while keeping the process straightforward and affordable.

Legal Forms And Cremation Arrangements

We take care of all legal forms, permissions, and documentation required for the cremation, relieving families of administrative stress. The cremation is arranged at a local crematorium, with no formal ceremony, providing a streamlined process that is both respectful and efficient. Families can rely on us to manage all details accurately, allowing them to focus on remembering their loved one.

We had the privilege of working with Alisdair at McBride and Sons. He sorted everything out, even though this was difficult at times, owing to us changing our minds and asking for things very close to the date of the funeral. Their care and support are second to none. As a family, we would like to say a huge thank you for making a very difficult time easier. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend McBride and Sons.

Ashes And Guidance For Next Steps

After the cremation, we return the ashes to the family or arrange scattering as requested. We provide clear information about timescales and the next steps, guiding families through the entire process. This ensures that every aspect is handled with care, transparency, and understanding, giving families confidence and support during a difficult time.
