It took some time for the commital to take place but I am not sure where the fault lay. However, I was most impressed by the level of service received in arranging a cremation. A lady called Christine was most helpful and the ashes were delivered to me in the timeframe stated. I have recommended Pure Cremation since to many people.

Pure cremation handled everything with my mum’s passing with dignity and respect. From collecting mum to delivering the ashes. The was a delay between of a few weeks prior to committal. Overall a good positive experience that made things easier during bereavement. Thank You

Staff very kind & polite,kept me updated as events were happening.I felt as though there was a long wait for actual cremation to take place but obviously time slots are given by crematorium.I received my husbands ashes exactly 6 weeks after he passed away the lady that brought them was also extremely nice.The only thing that I really do not like is the container that my husbands ashes were returned in but unless you choose something yourself this is what you get.

I had mixed feelings about how this would work. When my mum passed away the team were very efficient and Abbey was my contact. Abbey was helpful and informative. The whole process was efficent and as my mum wanted. The only thing I found difficult was not knowing the time my my mum was cremated as I would have liked to have known this.

Friendly person when I made the call to arrange a cremation, a plan wasn't in place as the death wasn't expected. I was kept informed of timeliness. Ashes delivered back on a date that was convenient to me. Driver was very nice

Found dealing with them very easy and the people who collected my Mum and delivered her ashes very respectful. The only criticism I have that I would be told the date Mum’s ashes would be delivered by a phone call, this did not happen all I got was a email the night before and a tracking email on the day, this is makes it feel like an Amazon parcel not a loved one. I did get a phone call when they were in their way however. Also never received the gift card unless it arrived at my mothers address after it was vacated

The process of arranging my wife's cremation was straightforward and stress free. However, this was clouded by being contacted one month later by a phone call informing me that I had not been charged for the private ambulance that collected my wife from home. I needed to pay a further sum of £254 approx to complete the service provided. At the time of the phone call I was very distressed and simply paid over the phone. Now, over five weeks later I feel that things could have been handled with a little more empathy. I appreciate that errors do happen but I merely state that this incident did leave me feeling let down by an otherwise perfect service.

That said everything else was handled with great respect, sympathy and business like effectiveness.

Buying the cremation was easy and efficient. The member of staff was very pleasant and had an appropriate tone. Everything was made clear to me. On the day of the bereavement when I contacted Pure Cremation, that’s when I took issue with their provision. The member of staff asked me if I was alright: I thought that was inappropriate. I was sent a form to fill in with electronic signatures. When I returned it, I was then told it had to be live signatures and they needed to change the template. I had to do it all again and scan in the relevant pages. At such a sensitive time that’s not acceptable. It was also not acceptable not to be told this when the form was first sent. I asked the member of staff if there was anything else I needed to do as I was clueless. I was assured that was all. Three days later when I saw the solicitor his first question was whether I had contacted the registrar: I had not because of what Pure Cremation had told me and I had noticed a section on the registrar on their form. I should have been told to contact the registrar. There are staff training issues here. Thereafter, the service I received was good and professional. Staff were very helpful when I contacted them and kept me informed. The man who delivered the ashes was very pleasant, though the container looked like a cereal packet: I would have preferred an urn shape.

Easy to book in when Mum passed, process nice and simple. Phoned by a personal contact, which was fine, but I never spoke to him again. Took longer than I expected, but that's just modern Britain for you. I had to call them to check when they had collected, rather than them calling me, which was what they said they'd do. Very good service other than that.

As a family, we found Pure Cremations to be very professional, and considerate. Communication was very good and the staff were really helpful, everything was taken out of our hands, which is what you need at a time of loss. When the ashes were delivered pure cremations were very compassionate towards my mum as she was on her own. I would recommend them 100%.

The only disappointment I have is when my dad’s ashes arrived home and the “urn” he was in was like a biscuit tin. I wasn’t informed of if I had a choice of urn or not and it wasn’t explained to me which type of urn we would get. It’s reminds me of a biscuit tin on its side.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us. We're glad to hear you found our service efficient and felt well-informed throughout, it’s something we always aim for. We also appreciate your feedback about the urn. The urn we provide has been selected for its durability, eco-friendly design, and ability to hold our unique ceramic identity disc. That said, we completely understand that preferences vary, and families are very welcome to provide an alternative urn if they wish. We’ll make sure your comments are passed on and look at how we can make this option clearer going forward. Kindest regards, Pure Cremation Team

We liked the the no fuss oranisation of cremation, it was quick and effecient, competively priced and communication was good, the only slight criticism was the container the ashes were in, a plastic box, for £50 from a company starting with AM, you can get a very nice aluminium with enamel coating I would humbly suggest that perhaps it would be nice to have a choice for the urn.

For the mostpart my interaction with Pure Cremation was excellent - respectful, efficient, nice staff, value for money. My only criticism is that due to technical issues your end, the email that you tried to send me about my father's cremation date never got to me. The first I knew of it,was when a staff member called me the evening before, to say they'd noticed the email had bounced and suspected that I might not know about the committal. I was really shocked, and it upset me. I would say always phone relatives regarding this important piece of information. Do not send it by email. Thank you.

Good especially the lady who I spoke to at the beginning. She kept me fully informed of what was going on and helped me to answer some questions about closure. I would like to have been told that the cremation have taken place and roughly when it was done through an email at the end of the day. Had no tracking of ashes but phonecall with a 2 hour window.

Thank you so much for your positive feedback about our team, it truly means a lot to us. We're very proud of our commitment to providing every family with a confirmed committal date. However, as with any crematorium, it's not possible to predict the exact moment the committal will begin. To avoid causing unnecessary worry or confusion, we’ve made the decision not to offer approximate times, as these can often change. However, we genuinely appreciate your feedback and will take it on board as we continue to review and improve our service. We're also very sorry to learn that you didn’t receive the email allowing you to track the return of your loved one’s ashes. We will look into this to understand what went wrong and ensure it’s addressed. All the very best, Pure Cremation Team

Thank you for your feedback and kind words about our efficiency. We also greatly appreciate your feedback regarding the wording on our private ambulance. In response to feedback like yours, we’re currently in the process of removing the "Pure Cremation" wording from our ambulances. These are being updated with our more subtle lotus flower logo to ensure a more discreet presence. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts with us.
