Yes, the death must be registered with the local registrar before any cremation can take place, however we can start the arrangement process before the registration takes place. Once the death is registered, we can book the cremation date. Can I have a viewing of the deceased before the cremation?

However, if you wish to have a private viewing or small ceremony before the cremation, we can discuss your wishes and accommodate them where possible. Do you handle all the necessary paperwork? Yes, we work with you to complete all of the required paperwork to ensure that the cremation can take place. Either face-to-face or digitally, we will need your signature on the final documents. What happens to the ashes after the cremation? Once the cremation is complete, we will return the ashes to you in a simple, dignified container. If you would like a more personal urn, we can help you select one that fits your needs. Can I arrange a memorial service later? Yes, many families choose to hold a memorial or celebration of life at a later date. This allows you time to plan a personal and meaningful tribute. The memorial service can be held at any location, such as a community hall, church, or even at home. How do I get in touch with Sussex Direct Cremation?
