A direct cremation (or “unattended funeral”) is the most affordable option (£999.00–£1,800), with no service or mourners present. Moss Funeral Directors handles everything discreetly: collection, paperwork, and cremation at Cambridge or Parndon Wood Crematorium. Families receive ashes for a private memorial later.
Why choose direct cremation?
✔️ No funeral service costs
✔️ Flexibility to scatter/hold ashes later
✔️ Avoids embalming or expensive coffins
We guide you through the legal steps (including the Cremation Form 4) and offer 24/7 support.

A Burial Funeral
Conversely, natural and eco-friendly burials often transpire within wooded areas or flower-filled meadows, frequently within grounds earmarked for future nature reserves. Graves in these settings often lack prominent markers, opting instead for modest biodegradable indicators like wooden plaques, if any at all.
