Direct Cremation
in Cumbria

A dignified, simple and affordable choice
handled with care and respect

WHAT IS A DIRECT CREMATION?

A simple choice, carried out with dignity and respect.

Direct cremation is an unattended cremation without a funeral service.  We care for the person who has died and transfer them to the crematorium, where the cremation takes place without a service or mourners in attendance.

It is an affordable option that allows families the time and freedom to say goodbye in a way that feels right for them.  Many families choose to have a separate memorial service.

OUR COMPASSIONATE APPROACH

Safe, caring and experienced

With generations of experience, Irving’s Funeral Directors are here to guide you with understanding, honesty and compassion.

As your local independent funeral director in Frizington, Cumbria, we provide a personal and caring approach. Our family-run service offers the reassurance of local knowledge and dedicated support, rather than the less personal experience often associated with larger national providers.

Irving’s will personally bring the person who has died into our care, arrange the cremation, and return the ashes to their family or loved ones.
