Can I have a funeral notice for a direct cremation?

Direct cremation is a term used in the funeral industry to describe a cremation with no funeral service beforehand. Sometimes referred to as a simple or unattended cremation, it is often the most affordable option available to families.

You can have a funeral notice for a direct cremation and many people do.

Funeral notices are used for much more than announcing the date and time of a funeral. A funeral notice, also known as a death notice, family announcement, obituary or intimation, lets people know about the passing of a loved one. Although there is no funeral to announce with a direct cremation, it is important to let people know about your loss and inform them of your plans.

You can use a funeral notice to collect donations for charity in your loved one's name - a feature of many funerals that you can still embrace for direct cremation.

Many people choose to have a service, gathering or celebration of life event after the cremation has taken place. A funeral notice is a good way to inform people of this, letting them know when and where to attend and if there are any requirements such as a dress code.

A funeral notice provides lifelong support to the bereaved, acting as an everlasting tribute to their loved one. Funeral notices remain online forever and allow people to come together to share their memories, add photographs and videos and pay tribute to the life of the person they knew.
