Memorial and Scattering Suggestions – Wirral Direct Cremations
At Wirral Direct Cremations, we understand that saying goodbye to a loved one is an incredibly personal journey. While direct cremation offers a simple, dignified and affordable way to manage the cremation itself, many families choose to hold a separate memorial or scattering ceremony to honour their loved one’s life in a meaningful way.
As a family-run service, we are committed to ensuring that your loved one is treated with the utmost care, respect and dignity in Wirral and the surrounding areas.
How to say Goodbye
Having a direct cremation gives you the flexibility to arrange your own farewell ceremony at a time and place that feels right. With direct cremation, there is no service or gathering at the crematorium. Instead, the cremation is carried out privately and the ashes are returned to the family. This allows you to arrange a personal tribute—whether at home, a local venue or a special outdoor setting.
