Service operator: Go Direct Cremations Limited, company number 14069526. CremationCompare is a comparison website only, not this provider or a funeral arranger.
Service model and limitations
- This is an at-need unattended service: no mourners or viewing, and no choice of crematorium, date or time. Confirm timings directly; they are not guaranteed here.
- Professional care, arrangements, a standard coffin, cremation and telephone support are described on the official website. 24/7 telephone support does not establish that collection is available or included at every hour.
- The homepage includes a basic ashes container. Confirm whether a different urn, return method, urgent collection, device removal, special coffin or extended storage changes the written total.
Official-source warning
- The homepage and linked price list show £1,145, but other live pages show £985 or £1,275. We use the £1,145 headline and require confirmation rather than choosing a lower conflicting price.
- Ashes hand return is from £95 extra on the homepage and price list; other pages and the provider-supplied description imply it is included. It remains quote-required here.
- Medical-device removal is £75 on the homepage and price list but included on the service page. The FAQ advertises 24/7 collection while the price list marks outside-office-hours services as not offered.
- The currently linked price list contains a £82 doctors-fee footnote alongside a July 2023 update footer; its current applicability is unclear. It is not added to our calculator; ask the provider for its current applicable paperwork and fees.
We keep unresolved details visible and require a quote where they could change your total. Confirm collection and ashes-return arrangements directly with the provider.
