Direct Cremations

Direct Cremation with Champ Funeral Services, Clayton-le-Moors, Accrington

At Champ Funeral Services, we understand that a traditional funeral service is not always the way in which people wish to say farewell to their loved ones. This is why we have put together a direct unattended funeral service, known more commonly as Direct Cremation.

What is a Direct Cremation?

A Direct Cremation is a cremation where there is no ceremony, and no family or friends in attendance. It can be followed at a later date by a celebration of life ceremony, memorial service, or scattering of ashes, giving family and friends the opportunity to come together in remembrance.

Why choose Champ Funeral Services for Direct Cremation?

If it is your wish to select Direct Cremation with Champ Funeral Services, you can be assured that they will be cared for at our funeral home in Clayton-le-Moors, Accrington, Hyndburn until the day of the cremation and the cremation will take place locally at Accrington Crematorium, unlike many other companies who transfer your loved one hundreds of miles to their cremation facility.

If it is your wish, we can personally collect their ashes from Accrington Crematorium and arrange for them to be returned to you.

What is the cost of a Direct Cremation with Champ Funeral Services and what does it include?

Care of your loved one, a simple cremation coffin, completion and delivery of all legal documentation, transfer to Accrington Crematorium on the day of the committal and collection and return of your loved ones ashes.
