How direct burial works

crem

Transfer of your loved one

Funeral Directors collect and transfer your loved one and transport them to an approved mortuary and help you plan the burial and organise all the paperwork.

Mortuary care and preparation

Funeral Directors take care of your loved one before the burial. Care is taken to prepare the body for placement into a coffin for transfer to the cemetery.

Carry out the burial

Funeral Directors carry out a direct burial without a funeral service. So you can spend more time planning a memorial with your family.
