Would definitely recommend Pure Cremation if you want something relatively stess-free. My wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer at the end of September and we discussed what she wanted after she passed away. She didn't want a "traditional funeral" as they are too expensive and nobody likes attending, so we decided to go for a direct cremation. Saw the adverts on TV and social media for Pure Cremation and decided to use them. Did all the relevant "paperwork" online which was simplicity itself. Received the information pack a few days later followed by a telephone call welcoming me. Sadly my wife passed away at the end of October at home, and after confirmation had been given it was a case of calling them to let them know. We were told that the team would be sent to collect my wife, and we would receive a call letting us know what time they would arrive. Sadly we heard nothing so my Son called to be told they were 4 minutes away. Not good as they would have turned up at the door before the family were prepared. The team that collected my wife, treated her with care and respect. When they placed her into the van, once the rear doors were closed softly they both walked away from the van, turned and bowed. They drove away very very slowly until we could no longer see them. I was kept informed as to what was going to happen to my wife, including the date of the cremation. I received a call the day after confirming it had taken place and that they would be in touch once the ashes were very to be returned. I received a call from the driver telling me he would arrive between 10.30 and 10.45 today, which he did. Again, he was very professional and treated my wifes ashes with care. If I am honest, based on the price, I expected a white transit van (the one used carried the Pure Cremation logo etc), for a couple of people to rush in, pick up my wife and put her in a body bag, "throw her" into the van and speed off to the next "job". Nothing is further from the truth. In my opinion, and based on past experience of funeral directors, Pure Cremation are far superior. So much so, I will be arranging mine later today. There are 2 reasons that I can't give 5 stars. Firstly, the issue with not receiving the telephone call referred to above. Secondly, and more importantly, my wife's name is Tracey, and my contact was called Tracy Robinson. I would have hoped that they would think that this was a bit insensitive and allocate someone else. However, Tracy was fantastic.
