Basic Cremation

Our ‘Basic Cremation’ is a low cost funeral package where we provide the essential funeral services, without any ‘frills’. All the things that you might traditionally expect to be provided by a funeral director are included.

That means that the hearse, bearers, quality coffin and fittings, collection costs and our professional fees are all included.

We will also appoint a minister or celebrant for you if you wish, although the charge for the minister or celebrant is additional, and you would need to liase with them about the contents of the funeral ceremony.

WHAT PARTS OF THE FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS WOULD THE FAMILY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR?

If you choose the ‘Basic Woodland Funeral’ package, you take responsibility for carrying out certain tasks. They are:

Ensuring that we receive safely, at our Sheffield premises, the green form that you will be given by the registrar and that you sign two other forms that are required before the cremation can go ahead.

Organising any funeral ceremony that is taking place with the minister or celebrant

And, if you have selected the ‘washing and dressing’ option, arranging for any clothes to be worn to be delivered to our Sheffield premises
