DIY/Home Funeral

Did You Know You Don't Legally Have To Use A Funeral Director In The UK?

NOT MANY PEOPLE DO!

We can support you with just the essential and logistical aspects, leaving you free to organise and create

without the input of a third party.

  • Family-led care: The family takes primary responsibility for the person who has died care, often at home.

  • Minimal professional involvement: Reducing or eliminating traditional funeral director services.

  • Personalised and flexible: Allowing for highly individualised rituals and timelines.

  • Legal compliance: Still requiring adherence to UK legal requirements for death registration and disposal.
