Direct Cremations Cornwall

A Simple, Affordable, and Dignified Farewell

What is Direct Cremation?

Direct cremation is an increasingly popular choice for families in Cornwall who want a simple, dignified, and cost-effective way to say goodbye. Unlike traditional funerals, direct cremation is an unattended service with no formal ceremony, giving families the freedom to plan a personal memorial or celebration of life at a later date.

At Cornwall Direct Cremations, we are a local, family-run funeral service with over 100 years of experience through our sister company, Wedlake Funeral Home. We ensure your loved one remains in trusted, local hands at all times—never transported long distances or handled by a call centre. Our approach combines professional expertise with a compassionate, personal touch.

Why Choose a Direct Cremation?

Direct cremation offers several benefits for families:

Simple & Stress-Free – No complex arrangements; a straightforward, dignified process

Affordable & Transparent – Cost-effective alternative to traditional funerals, with no hidden fees (£1,095 all-inclusive)

More Personalisation – Families can plan a unique tribute in their own time, reflecting their loved one’s wishes

Local & Trusted Care – Your loved one is cared for locally, with dignity and respect

This approach allows families to create a meaningful farewell on their own terms, whether that means a private family gathering, a celebration of life, or scattering ashes in a cherished location.
