What route fits your overall budget?

Direct cremation is the realistic starting point. Use the decision tool to check whether an unattended option fits your wishes.
Compare direct cremation with a simple attended service. The funeral director's own fee will usually matter more than a small crematorium-price difference.
A standard attended cremation funeral is more achievable, but itemise the quote and decide which extras genuinely matter to your family.
