A simple yet respectful way to honour those we've lost
Direct cremations provide a simple, dignified way to say goodbye without the traditional ceremony. For families in Plymouth and beyond, this option can ease the financial burden while still honouring your loved one’s memory. It’s a choice that respects both your wishes and your budget, offering a straightforward process during what can be an overwhelming time. Whether you’re looking for a no-fuss approach or a way to focus on a private memorial, direct cremations can be the right path.
Our professional fees are fully inclusive of collection of the deceased 24 hours a day, our support and guidance throughout, help with all the legal paperwork, preparation of the deceased, use of our chapel of rest and, on the day of the funeral, the hearse and driver.

Unattended Cremation
For those families who have already said their goodbyes, we have a simple dignified option. Knapman Family will look after your loved one and make all the necessary arrangements. With this option, the paperwork must be completed in our office or by email. The cremation will take place at The Park and there will be no viewing. The ashes will be returned to Knapman Family or taken home to the family for £40. (Direct cremation is also referred to as ‘Pure Cremation')
