Direct Funerals with Fawcett and Hetherington

At Fawcett and Hetherington, we understand that every farewell is deeply personal. A direct funeral offers a dignified, straight forward option for those who prefer simplicity, privacy, or a more affordable approach to saying goodbye. Whether it’s a direct cremation or direct burial, we handle every detail with care, respect, and quiet professionalism—so you can focus on what matters most.

 What Is a Direct Funeral?

A direct funeral is carried out without a formal service, procession, or mourners present. It’s a practical choice for families who may wish to hold a private memorial later, or for those who feel that a quiet goodbye is more fitting.

We offer:

• Direct Cremation – A simple cremation without ceremony. Ashes can be returned to our premises or scattered in the Garden of Rememberance.
• Direct Burial – A burial without a service or attendees. Ideal for those who prefer a low-key approach.

 Why Choose a Direct Funeral?

• Simplicity – No formalities, just a respectful farewell.
• Affordability – A cost-effective alternative to traditional funerals.
• Flexibility – Families can hold a personal memorial in their own time and way.
• Privacy – Ideal for those who prefer a quiet goodbye.
