Unattended Funerals

An unattended funeral service offers a more affordable and simplified alternative to a traditional funeral service. While the service itself is straightforward, there are additional options available for those who wish to personalise the experience or honour the memory of their loved one.

A Quiet Farewell in Modern Times

Ridgeway Funeral Service provides unattended funeral options, offering a dignified and straightforward approach for those preferring a direct cremation or burial without a traditional service. This service ensures all necessary arrangements are handled with care and respect, focusing on simplicity and efficiency.

What is an unattended funeral?

For those who prefer a private and dignified farewell, our unattended funeral service offers a respectful option. We are dedicated to providing compassionate and professional care, ensuring your loved one’s final wishes are honored with the utmost respect.

TYPES OF UNATTENDED FUNERALS WE OFFER

Direct Burials

An unattended burial service, also known as a direct burial, is a funeral option where the deceased is buried without a formal ceremony or the presence of mourners. It focuses on the respectful handling and final disposition of the body, with no service or gathering held before or after the burial. This contrasts with traditional funerals, which typically include a service, eulogies, and a gathering of family and friends.

Direct Cremations

An unattended cremation, also known as a direct cremation, is a cremation service where no funeral service or ceremony is held at the crematorium, and no mourners are present. It is a simpler and often more affordable option compared to traditional funeral services. The deceased is transported directly to the crematorium, and the cremation takes place without a service or attendance. Afterward, the ashes are typically returned to the family.
