TYPES OF FUNERAL

Attended Direct cremation

A simple, attended cremation with a service, carried out with the same care as any funeral we conduct — and the ashes returned to you.

If you’re considering a Direct Cremation but would like to attend a service, Butterfields offers the ideal solution. Our Attended Direct Cremation Package provides everything you need for a respectful and dignified farewell:

  • Transfer of your loved one into our care
  • Dedicated, compassionate care throughout
  • A suitable coffin for the cremation
  • A small, tasteful flower arrangement
  • A professional civil celebrant to lead the service in our bungalow
  • A private chapel service for up to 25 guests
  • Transport to the crematorium for the deceased
  • All cremation fees included
  • Live streaming of the funeral, if desired
  • Visual tribute options, if requested
  • The deceased is usually cremated the next day unattended
