We provide so much more than most other direct cremation companies. Here at Stag we offer you various options to enhance your choice from either a simple (direct) cremation or simple (direct) natural burial to
one that may include flowers and a beautiful woven basket coffin.
Our Elegance package gives the gift of having your loved one gently washed and anointed with sacred essential oils, blessed and gently wrapped in white cotton with the option for a fingerprint and lock of hair.
​
If you choose, your guide will hand deliver the ashes at a time convenient to you, during which they would be delighted to come in and have a chat with you
to see how you are managing and to offer further guidance.

A direct cremation is simply a
cremation without a service.
​
The person who has died is collected
and cared for by us until the day of the cremation when they are taken in a simple coffin to the crematorium
without mourners present.
​
The ashes are then returned to you for you to decide whether you would like to hold an ashes ceremony.
​
This is sometimes also known as a simple cremation.
This is the lowest priced option and
for many this is a driving force.
​
For others, they just do not want to have a
funeral service at the time of death.
​
A direct cremation enables the family to be able to hold a memorial, honouring of life or celebration of life ceremony, if they wish to, at a time and place
that suits them.
​
You are free to choose what is right for you
whether a traditional style ceremony or a more relaxed picnic/country walk
sharing memories.
Slow
down
and
take
a
moment
to
just
breathe,
to
just
be.
