I have thought seriously about a direct cremation for some time now. My mother is 85 and has had Alzheimer's Disease for almost 20 years. Maybe I'm being selfish; a direct cremation will save me from the double tragedy of Mum's passing and then possibly weeks later, Mum's funeral. Another tragic day which will set me back, when actually, I should have begun the healing process by dealing with her loss. I have had so many happy celebrations with my Mum on so many occasions over the past 60+ years and I want our last one together to be a quality celebration with dignity and above all, to have my last memory of her alive and smiling. My partner and I have agreed that when the time comes, we shall be doing the same
Thank you for posting your thoughts,my mother passed a couple of days ago,and I just can't seem to accept it,we were with each other all the time,never a day passed did we not speak,all my 57yrs. The traditional funeral feels me with horror,so painful,hence looking at direct cremations and planning a celebration of her life,later,when people can be together. My concern for my own healing,if I do things this way,is closure,will I get closure ..heartbreaking
Good enough for David Bowie and prince,,,,good enough for me,,,then a gathering in a local pub for family and friends,,,,, ashes, photo, a beer on a table in the background for all to look, swap stories over a drink 🥃,,then after all said and done family scatters ashes in special place of meaning,,,,,this is the modern funeral but each to there own
This is a very sensible alternative to hugely expensive & emotional funeral services. Definitely going to look into it.

Thank you Jim Reaper
Where are the bodies stored before cremation?
Yes, dying matters. Apparently more than living to this company. Don’t forget to do this first, incidentally.
