Choosing an unattended cremation doesn’t mean you have to miss out on having a meaningful funeral ceremony.
With the growing popularity of Direct Cremations being purchased and arranged online, families are increasingly being steered towards the option of having a ceremony or memorial service without their loved one present in their coffin. For some people, that may be exactly what they want. But it’s important to know that it isn’t the only choice.
You can have both
You can also gather together with your loved one present in their coffin, hold a personal and heartfelt service, and then have the cremation take place afterwards, without mourners attending.
At Heart & Soul Funerals, families can hold a ceremony at Riverstone Hall, creating time and space for music, readings, memories, tributes and a gathering together. The coffin can be present throughout, open or closed, and part of a ceremony and an opportunity to say goodbye. Afterwards, the coffin is taken by our team to the crematorium for an unattended cremation.
For some families, this really can offer the best of both worlds: a personal, meaningful goodbye with the person they love present, combined with the simplicity of an unattended cremation. Choosing not to attend the crematorium doesn't mean you have to choose not to have a ceremony. Choice is everything, and the choice is yours; something which online Direct Cremation providers simply can't provide.
