It’s a choice that respects both your wishes and your budget, offering a straightforward process during what can be an overwhelming time.

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')
