There are national companies who offer a direct cremation service for a very minimal cost.  These low-cost packages do not include for ANY care of the deceased.  The deceased will simply be collected from the hospital, placed in a coffin and taken to their central holding area which serves the whole country.  There will be no last offices carried out, no washing or dressing of the deceased and any catheters or cannulas will all be left in situ.

The direct cremation service that we offer ensures that last offices are carried out by caring, qualified staff and the deceased will be brought into the care of Rosedale.

We are able to offer this low priced funeral by reducing our overheads and our risk to debt, therefore we request that the full cost of the funeral is paid by in full by debit card or BACS transfer within 72 hours of making the funeral arrangements.

If for any reason the full cost is not paid in advance of the funeral, we reserve the right to increase our fees to our standard prices or to cancel the funeral arrangements.
