Attended, No Fuss, Simple Cremation
Attended, no fuss cremation with a simplified ceremony typically attended by immediate family rather than a full congregation. Can be partnered with a Celebration of Life or scattering of ashes ceremony.

- Completion of the cremation forms required by law
- Collection of your loved one to be taken into our care*
- A simple oak veneered coffin
- Transportation of your loved one direct to the crematorium in a simple vehicle (private ambulance)
- Professional communication throughout, so you have clarity as to what is being organised and help with anything extra you would like to organise
- Hand delivery of of ashes within the boroughs of Richmond and Kingston, otherwise a courier will be arranged at an additional cost
* Out of hours collection 5pm – 9am, weekends and bank holidays incur an additional £195 fee (typically applies when collecting from a home or nursing home)
- There is no traditional hearse procession or pallbearers carrying the coffin into a ceremony, your loved one is respectfully placed in the chapel ready for your arrival – music can be arranged to be played as you walk into the chapel, and a photo displayed (see How it Works)
- Dressing or personal viewing would be optional extras
If you require more then ‘no fuss’, please look at Personalised Cremation.
- Call us on 020 3281 1045 or complete our contact form
- We will arrange to meet you – either at your home, our office or other convenient location
- We will complete with you all statutory forms and paperwork
- We will collect your loved one and bring them into our care
- We will liaise with you regarding choice of dates
- Typically our No Fuss funerals are held before 10am at Kingston Crematorium as it is a smaller chapel, where we can arrange casual seating nearer the coffin. This feels far less imposing and creates an intimate environment. After 10am crematorium fees cost significantly more.
- The coffin will be place in-situ at the Chapel when you arrive
- Flowers can be placed ready on top of the coffin if provided, or maybe you would like to place them yourselves when inside the chapel
- Choose a photo of your loved one that can be displayed at the chapel – we can get this printed for you
- Choose music tracks to be played during your time in the chapel, the first of which will be played as you walk into the chapel
You will have 20 – 25 minutes in the chapel, where you can:
- Say your own words. If you don’t feel up to speaking yourselves, we are happy to speak for you with words you provide
- Or, just sit quietly and reflect – listen to more tracks of music
- For groups of up to 12 people, we bring along thermos flasks of hot water so we can make you mugs of tea, to add a sense of comfort
- Hand delivery of ashes within the Royal Borough’s of Richmond or Kingston upon Thames otherwise a courier will be arranged at an additional cost

Cost: £1,350 + disbursements
Disbursements are unavoidable third party costs, which for cremations are the doctors’ fees for signing the cremations forms (£164) and the crematorium fees (typically £430 for an early morning booking). Should you wish for an alternative choice of coffin to the one we include, this would be an additional cost. A celebrant can officiate if you wish (typically £220). Disbursement costs will be added to our final invoice, which is to be paid in full prior to the cremation.
