Direct Cremations
🌿 **Direct Cremations in Durham, Sunderland, and Hartlepool** 🌿
We understand that losing a loved one is an incredibly difficult time. Jimmy Chapelhow recently shared his heartfelt experience with us after the loss of his son. He spoke about the compassionate and professional service he received from Delanoy Funeral Services for the direct cremation. You can listen to his story below:
We are here to support you in offering dignified direct cremations at local crematoriums. Providing you with peace of mind during such a challenging time.
What are direct cremations?
Direct cremations in Peterlee and surrounding areas are becoming more and more popular. They are a simple unattended cremation, where your loved one is treated with all the dignity and respect you would expect from Delanoy Funeral Services.
There is no funeral service, however, this does not mean you cannot choose your way of remembering your loved one in a place or time that suits you. All our direct cremations involve our funeral director taking your loved one to the crematorium in our hearse.
If you choose to have a memorial service at a later date we can help arrange this for you when the time is right.
Whats included in direct cremations?
Bringing the deceased into our care
Cremation fees and costs funeral directors’ choice of Crematorium
Jaguar Hearse to the crematorium
Funeral director’s choice of coffin
Any doctor fees, collection of the ashes
Unfortunately with direct cremations, you cannot choose the date and time of the cremation or visit the chapel of rest (however this can be arranged at an extra cost).
We are here to talk you through each step of the way and all the options available to you, please call for more information.
During times when you cannot be there
At times when it is not possible to attend the funeral service, we also offer other services to help you reflect and say your goodbyes. We can arrange for the hearse to pass your home and for family and friends to say their final farewells. We can also create beautiful funeral notices for social media where friends and family can leave their condolences. (Please note there is an extra cost for these services).
