Affordable, Compassionate Cremation Services

At Wealden Funerals, we provide a simple, dignified direct cremation service for just £1,750, with no hidden costs.

What is a Direct or Unattended Cremation?

A direct cremation is a straightforward, private option where your loved one is cremated without a traditional funeral service or ceremony. This approach allows families to save significantly compared to the costs of a traditional funeral. It’s ideal for those who prefer simplicity, giving you the flexibility to commemorate your loved one at a later time and in your own way.
