In light of the recent news reports concerning Pure Cremation and their opening of a industrial sized mortuary to hold up to 700 deceased individuals, we felt it was important to share a reminder that families have a choice when it comes to arranging a direct cremation.
At Morris Funeral Services, we believe that choosing a simple, affordable cremation should never mean compromising on dignity, respect, transparency or peace of mind.
We understand that cost is an important consideration for many families, which is why we are proud to offer a clear and honest approach to our direct cremation services.
๐ For us, it is about more than price.
It is about treating every person in our care with the dignity they deserve, communicating openly with families and providing reassurance at an incredibly difficult time. It is also giving the family the confidence that their loved ones are being looked after locally in a funeral home and not on an industrial estate as the case with this national company.
We believe this is an opportunity to remind our community of the importance of asking questions such as where will your loved one be looked after?, who will be the person looking after them? Is the crematorium local? and also provides the family the option to comparing services and choosing a funeral director they feel confident in.
If you are considering a direct cremation for yourself or a loved one, please get in touch. We will be happy to explain our service, answer your questions and provide a clear breakdown of our costs, with no pressure and no obligation.
