Ruby Cremation Package

Our Ruby package is the cost of a complete funeral including all of the essential elements as listed below. There will be additional charges for items not included in the package such as service sheets, newspaper announcements, or flowers etc. Ask us about our early payment discount of £75, available to those paying the entire invoice in advance of the funeral (Not applicable on the Non Attendance cremation.)

There are no hidden extras, and we are not going to try and pressure you into spending more. As an independent funeral home we are not governed by a head office and can be flexible when discussing your budget and requirements.

Help is available for those applying for financial assistance. Please call us if you require any further information or advice.

This is a very simple option for those who do not wish to have a funeral service.
There is no minister and families are not informed of the cremation time or date. We have an initial planning meeting where we discuss your requirements and complete all the paperwork.

Whilst there will not be a traditional funeral service, you are able to hold a separate memorial service at a later date. We are able to offer support and advice if necessary.

As this is a very low-cost option, the total amount needs to be paid before the cremation will take place.

We understand that some families are facing genuine financial hardship, if this is the case please speak to your funeral director as early as possible, we can offer assistance with applications for financial assistance and discuss flexible ways to pay.
