Direct Cremations
Unattended funeral options in Macclesfield, Cheshire
A direct cremation is a simple, unattended cremation and is best suited for those who have deceased without relatives or for families who want a simple, straightforward farewell, without any viewing of the loved one, ceremony, procession or mourners present.
Due to the simplicity, direct cremations are a more affordable and basic option, but at Andrew Smith Funeral Services, we believe simplicity should never come at the expense of dignity; our direct cremation option provides reassurance, transparency and respectful care throughout.
From the moment a loved one comes into our care, they remain with our experienced local team in Macclesfield. Every person is treated with the same respect and attention, regardless of the type of funeral chosen.
Our Unattended Cremations include:
- Collection
- Care at our Macclesfield premises
- Clear, upfront pricing with no hidden extras
- Ashes returned for collection
It is a simple and affordable option, delivered with care and transparency.
