With the direct cremation plus, we are able to offer the family some time in our chapel of rest to visit your loved one, or even have a minister or celebrant to say a few words of comfort. We will also book the service and inform the family of the day, date and time.
Even though no-one other than our staff attends, family and friends can choose to gather together, or even stay in their own homes and light a candle, or play a piece of music you loved one enjoyed and share a few minutes to think about your loss.
After the committal service you can then if you want to arrange a memorial service or simply have a family picnic to get together and remember your loved one by sharing memories and stories.
This service is £1530 inclusive of the cremation fee.

Funeral Plans
Talking about death and funerals isn’t easy. And yet there are several very good reasons why having a funeral plan in place makes perfect sense – from an emotional, practical and financial point of view. From a traditional funeral, to something simpler, with a plan in place you can make sure you get the send-off you really want.
A plan allows you to specify your wishes and pay for the funeral director’s services included in your plan. As customers often tell us, that can bring peace of mind to you and your family. A plan from Golden Charter also includes an allowance towards third party costs. These are essential, non-funeral director services such as the cremation or burial fees, plus the minister or officiant’s fee to perform the service. The value of the allowance included in your plan may grow over time. There will only be more to pay at the time of the funeral if the third party costs exceed the allowance when you buy your plan, or if the costs increase by more than the growth of your plan.
