Direct cremation
Cremation without a viewing or ceremony. Compare the included services and required extras, not only the service name.
What it usually includes
- The basic services fee and the services specified by the provider. Transfer, containers and the crematory charge need to be checked in the itemized offer.
- The basic services fee should be inside the direct cremation price, not added again.
What is usually extra
- Depending on the offer: the crematory charge, container, mileage, death certificates, permits, an urn, and any viewing or ceremony. Do not add a fee again if the package already includes it.
When you compare
- Compare the same basket: ask what the quoted direct cremation price includes and what it leaves out.
- The same service name can cover different inclusions. Confirm the basket and mandatory extras before comparing amounts.
