    Data noteRESOLVED (not a simple gap): Maldon Fields' own current fee sheet (effective 1 April 2026, fetched directly) lists only 'Full Cremation Service' (£1,195) and 'Early Service' (£895) - no separate Direct/Unattended line. A local funeral director's document explicitly confirms this isn't an oversight: 'This is not a Direct Cremation, which you will need to speak with your Funeral Director to arrange' - i.e. direct cremation is available but not at a fixed published crematorium rate, it's arranged case-by-case. Also notable: this is a brand-new crematorium, opened December 2024, specifically built (per local press coverage) to offer a more personal alternative after residents said they'd been 'choosing a direct or unattended service... because they have been put off by the long journeys' to Chelmsford/Colchester/Basildon - a good story data point if useful for the site.

    Choose by budget

    What route fits your overall budget?

    The crematorium fee is only one part of the bill. These starting points help you choose what to investigate next rather than treating the crematorium fee as the whole funeral price.

    Budget under £2,000

    Direct cremation is the realistic starting point. Use the decision tool to check whether an unattended option fits your wishes.

    Budget £2,000–£4,000

    Compare direct cremation with a simple attended service. The funeral director's own fee will usually matter more than a small crematorium-price difference.

    Budget above £4,000

    A standard attended cremation funeral is more achievable, but itemise the quote and decide which extras genuinely matter to your family.
