It’s important to understand exactly what is involved with a simple, no fuss Direct Cremation.
A ‘Direct’ Cremation is an unattended cremation, when someone who has died is taken from their place of death, cremated without any funeral service, with no mourners in attendance and the ashes returned to their next of kin.


Alexandra and Odette are your respected funeral directors and the face of Direct Cremations Wiltshire. Your loved ones are kept in our care until the day of the cremation, which are carried out locally. There is an opportunity to come and visit your loved one prior to the cremation in our chapel of rest and should you wish, we can return the cremated remains to you, usually within two weeks of the cremation.


Our services include as standard, informing our families the day and time of the Direct Cremation and although the family can’t attend, we give them the option to choose a piece of music to be played at the crematorium, making it a more personal send off. We also offer our families the opportunity to place any favourite trinkets or belongings into the coffin. We feel it is important to make the cremation as personal as possible for the family’s loved one.

Many families are filled with uncertainties after a loved one has died, Alexandra and Odette with their wealth of experience can explain everything fully and give additional guidance, leaving no questions unanswered.

Alexandra and Odette have formed a partnership through their own dedicated and individual funeral directors to deliver a Direct Cremation Service across Wiltshire.
We believe our families should have a personal service at such a sensitive time, that’s why you will only ever speak to us and not a call centre.


Alexandra and Odette can offer guidance should you wish to hold a Celebration of Life service, with ideas on venues and optional Orders of Service with your loved ones in mind. Please Contact Us for more information.
Please Note: The cremated remains are returned in the original box supplied by the relevant crematorium. Should you wish to choose a more personal receptacle, please see Prices and Optional Extras


We provide the same level of care and respect for a Direct Cremation as we do our traditional services.
Pre-Paid Plans are also available through C.S Winchcombe Funeral Services and Odette Funeral Director
