Direct Funerals

A direct funeral offers a simple and cost-effective way to honour your loved one without the need for a traditional ceremony. At Thompson Funeral Directors, we provide comprehensive direct funeral services, which include the respectful and dignified handling of all necessary arrangements. This option is ideal for families seeking a straightforward and affordable approach, allowing for private remembrance and reflection. Our compassionate team ensures that every aspect of the direct funeral process is handled with care and professionalism, providing you with peace of mind during this difficult time.

Direct funerals do not include a traditional service or gathering at the time of committal. Families may choose this option for personal, practical or financial reasons, or may wish to hold a separate memorial or remembrance service at a later date.

Direct Burial

A direct burial involves the burial of the deceased without a funeral service. We will take care of all necessary arrangements, including preparation, transport and liaison with the cemetery, ensuring the burial is carried out with dignity and care.

Direct Cremation

A direct cremation takes place without a funeral service at the crematorium. We manage the full cremation process on behalf of the family, including all required documentation and coordination with the crematorium. Ashes are returned to the family afterwards, allowing them to decide how and when they wish to mark the death.
