About Funeral Directors Cornwall
About Us – Cornwall Direct Cremations
At Cornwall Direct Cremations, we are a local, independent, family-run funeral service, dedicated to supporting families across Cornwall. Losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult experiences, and we provide compassionate, personal care at every step, ensuring families feel supported, reassured, and guided throughout. Every farewell is handled with care, dignity, and respect, combining professional expertise with a personal, empathetic approach.
We provide a homely, safe environment for your loved one until the cremation, reflecting our commitment to kindness, reliability, and understanding. Unlike large national providers, everything is handled locally—your loved one remains in trusted, professional care, and families speak directly with our team, not a call centre.
Our Chapels & Community Care
Our presence across Cornwall allows families to remain safely close to home, receiving the care and support they need within their local community. We are part of the community we serve, providing families with reassurance, compassion, and continuity of care.
Our chapel is designed to provide ultimate care for your loved one. It offers a safe, peaceful, and homely environment for families and friends to reflect, share memories, and pay tribute. For details about chapel arrangements and additional costs for quiet reflection, please see our home page.
