Cremation fees are included, along with doctors’ fees, conveying the deceased into our care in our private ambulance (within a 40 mile radius), care of the deceased, a simple coffin, transportation to the crematorium. The ashes can be collected or scattered at the crematorium.
This type of funeral gives you the freedom to remember someone in your own way, and a low-cost, respectful, fuss free funeral. We still guarantee our high standard of care to you and your loved one.
