Helpful to know
What should you do when someone dies?
The exact steps depend on where and how the person died. We can explain the funeral arrangements, while the appropriate medical and registration services handle the official documentation.
01
If the person died in hospital
Hospital staff can explain how the medical documentation is issued and when the person can be released into a funeral provider's care.
02
If the person died at home
Contact the appropriate healthcare professional. If the death was unexpected or the circumstances are unclear, the emergency services or coroner may need to be involved.
03
Registration and paperwork
The registration process varies between England and Wales and by the circumstances of the death. We will explain which documents we need for the cremation.
For official information, see GOV.UK: What to do when someone dies.
Remember them your way
Can we hold our own memorial afterwards?
Absolutely. Choosing direct cremation does not mean going without a meaningful goodbye.
Some families gather at home, meet in a favourite place, hold a memorial at a later date or arrange something small and private. You can choose the people, place and timing that feel right to you.
There is no requirement to hold a separate event. The choice is entirely yours.
No attended crematorium service
What is direct cremation?
Direct cremation is when a person is cremated without a traditional funeral ceremony attended by family and friends at the crematorium.
The focus is on respectful care and the cremation itself, with freedom to remember your loved one separately if you wish.
