Caring, dignified direct cremations in Essex
A personal, hands‑off funeral solution from £1,600
Bespoke, Personal & Caring
At Simple Way to Go, we believe that saying goodbye shouldn’t be complicated. Our mission is to provide a bespoke, personal service that leaves families with a lasting impression of caring and understanding. We’re a small, independent funeral director serving Essex and the surrounding area.
Whether you’re arranging a cremation for a loved one or planning for yourself, we make the process as simple and hands‑off as possible.
What is a direct cremation?
A direct cremation separates the cremation from any kind of attended funeral service. It allows your family to take their time and commemorate a life in whatever way feels right for them. Without an attended ceremony, the cremation usually takes place within a couple of weeks, and the ashes are either delivered or scattered according to your wishes. This option is increasingly popular because it offers dignity, flexibility and affordability, and avoids the rush and expense of a traditional funeral.
