What is A Direct Cremation?

A direct cremation is a straightforward, no-frills cremation service where the body is cremated shortly after death, without any formal funeral or viewing beforehand. This type of service is often chosen for its simplicity and cost-effectiveness. There is no traditional service or ceremony at the crematorium.

The deceased is transported directly from the place of death to our chapel of rest in Stanley. We then transport the deceased in the hearse to a local crematorium, where the process takes place. The ashes are then returned to the family in an urn or container of their choice.

Direct cremation allows families to plan a memorial service or celebration of life at a later time, often at a location or time that is more convenient for them. This option is growing in popularity due to its lower cost and the flexibility it offers for personalised memorialisation.

Funeral Directors

Since the beginning of the 20th century Arthur Bell Funeral Directors have provided funeral director services in and around the Wakefield area, especially those of Stanley and Thornes.

Funeral Arrangements

We make all the necessary arrangements for the funeral, including contacting doctors to obtain forms for cremation, members of the clergy and the local council bereavement services to book the funeral.

Choosing an Unattended Cremation

As your local funeral director in Wakefield, we make sure that all direct cremation arrangements are right for your family and the deceased. We will handle all the paperwork quickly and smoothly, so you don’t need to worry.

People choose direct cremations for different reasons. A common one is that they can be very cost-effective. If you have a tight budget, this is a more affordable option. After the cremation, your loved one’s ashes will be returned to you. Many people do choose to hold a memorial ceremony at some point, so you can remember your loved one in your own way.

Private Chapel of Rest

Our Chapel of Rest is open 7 days a week, all we ask is that you ring to make an appointment.
