About

Unfortunately, direct cremations cannot accommodate attendees. 

If you wanted to arrange a traditional service, then please contact M Tomlin & Son Independent Funeral Directors. 

No, the coffin provided is a veneered oak coffin.

To keep the costs for the direct cremation as low as they are, we are unable to arrange visits. If this is something that you would want to do, then a more traditional service would be better for you.

A direct cremation allows for no service before the cremation. If this is something that you would want, you can arrange a more suitable package with M Tomlin & Son

All direct cremations will need to be paid for in full before the day of the cremation.

Dependent on your circumstance the social fund would easily cost the cover of a direct cremation, however, we would need the payment before the cremation and the social fund can take some time to process the payment. If this is the case, alternative funding would need to be arranged.

The date and location of the cremation will be at our discretion, and we let you know the time and location once it has been booked.

One small tribute can be included on the coffin, and we are able to place you in contact with local florists if you wish. 

There are two options available to you once the direct cremation has taken place:

You can have the ashes returned to you, and we will bring these to you between 9am-5pm Monday to Friday.

Or

You can choose to have your loved one’s ashes scattered at the crematorium.
