Private Cremation + Mini Wake

A simple private cremation (known also as direct cremation) for people who don't want a formal funeral service linked with a simple wake following.

We have found over the years the opportunity to have a glass of wine or beer following a viewing or service is a good way to remember a life.  Stories are told and memories are shared.  We are now offering a range of organised wakes following our services.

We provide the drinks, your provide the shared memories.
