A direct cremation is a disposition option in which the body is cremated very soon after the death (usually within a couple of days) and there is no prior funeral service. Direct cremations are the cheapest funeral options, but that doesn’t mean that they don’t respect the memory of the deceased. Families will often arrange a memorial service following the direct cremation to pay tribute to the deceased. A memorial service can take place anywhere from one week to a year after the burial or cremation. There’s no formal structure and they are normally held in a place of significance, such as the family home, park or an event space in a place of worship. What impact does this have on the costs of a traditional cremation? Ultimately, as there is no service prior to the cremation, a number of significant costs are avoided: Extensive mortuary care fees
Flowers
Orders of service
Celebrant
Catering
Viewing or visitation
Multiple transportations of the body
As family and friends will not be seeing the casket prior to the cremation, a simple cremation casket is used instead of a more expensive casket
In addition to the above, families are often able to arrange the cremation directly with the crematorium, including the death certificate and transport costs.
