Direct Cremation Plus
Respect your loved one’s wishes whilst still being able to say goodbye
Our Arlington Direct Cremation Plus service offers the simplicity of direct cremation, with the comfort of a personal farewell delivered by an independent family funeral director. Created for families who may prefer a simpler funeral arrangement, whilst still wanting the opportunity to gather together, reflect and say goodbye in a peaceful and personal environment.
Unlike many national direct cremation providers, your loved one remains under the care and guidance of a local independent funeral director — not a call centre.
