Direct Cremations
Becoming ever more popular due to the low cost we are able to arrange a direct cremation for your loved one. This is an unattended funeral where you will receive the cremated remains after the service which is on a date chosen by us. A standard coffin is used and the cremation will usually occur at the local crematorium.
Simple and Bespoke Cremations
We will arrange the cremation at a crematorium of your choice, you will be given choices of funeral vehicles, coffins and your choice of celebrant or Minister. Everything is decided by the family during the arrangement. With an attended cremation like our simple or bespoke ones you will have access to our Chapel of Rest to spend some time with your loved one.
Burials
Our burials will include a service in the church if required, a choice of coffin and funeral vehicles. Every decision is made by the family and tailored to your requirements. *Please note that for burials in Gravesend that you will not be able to purchase a new plot in Gravesend cemetery and that the burial would have to take place in Northfleet Cemetery*.
Ashes Interment
Once the funeral is over and you decide what you would like to do with the cremated remains we will be happy to assist you with any requests for the interment of ashes or ordering some scatter tubes for the scattering.
