Direct Cremation Services - From £1295

We provide a more personal direct cremation service through our independent funeral directors, a family-run business based here in North Devon. You will be in direct contact with us, your local funeral directors, who will guide you through the process and keep you informed every step of the way regarding your funeral arrangements.


Your loved one will remain in our care in North Devon and will travel to the crematorium with our funeral director.


For various reasons, direct cremation may be the appropriate choice for you.


With our direct cremation service, the cremation will occur on a date and time we select, with no mourners present. We will inform you after the service has taken place. A basic coffin will be provided, along with the necessary staff to complete the service, including oversight by a funeral director and a suitable specialized funeral vehicle.


Our direct cremation service, where all aspects of care for your loved one and the cremation are handled locally, is actually more affordable than those offered by national service providers. By choosing local trusted independent funeral directors, you can save between £165-£245.


The cremation will take place at the North Devon Crematorium.


For full details, please see below or contact our offices:


R P Byrom & Son, Barnstaple - 01271 320490


L Clarke & Sons, Braunton - 01271 813526


Dafforn & Son, Great Torrington - 01805 622263


A direct cremation does not meet everyone's needs, so please ensure you fully understand what is included and excluded in the direct cremation service, especially if you are considering pre-paid funeral plans.
