We are Direct Cremation Manchester Limited and offer Direct Cremation Services to communities of the Greater Manchester area. We provide a simple, practical, no fuss service without the need for the formalities associated with a traditional funeral.
Direct Cremation Manchester Limited is a company and trading name owned and managed by R. Pepperdine & Sons Limited, Manchester, an independent family firm established in Manchester in 1873. In recent times we have noticed a growing need and interest in this type of funeral being made available to members of the community who require a simple low cost option. We have therefore developed this service to integrate within our long-established traditional funeral service business.
Please be assured that arranging a Direct Cremation does not mean a lower standard of service. It is just a way of simplifying the practicalities. All arrangements will be conducted to our usual high standards with full attention to detail, care, reverence and respect. You should not expect anything less.
We are an independent family firm and as such are not part of any larger group or network. We are a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors. We liase with local crematoria to offer a complete Direct Cremation service.
When you make contact with us to make arrangements we will give you full advice on how to organise a Direct Cremation. It is preferred, but not essential, to do this face to face. However, where this is not possible it can be dealt with over the telephone and by correspondence. We will help and advise every step of the way with administration and try to make things as easy as possible.
