Frequently asked questions
How much is a direct cremation in Nottingham?
Prices vary by provider, so compare the “unattended funeral” price on each funeral director’s standardised price list. As a guide, the UK average is £1,628 (SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2026).
Can family attend a direct cremation?
Traditionally no — that is what makes it “direct”. Some providers offer an attended option with a short gathering at the crematorium for a small group, usually at extra cost.
Will I get the ashes back?
Yes. Ashes are usually returned by hand or courier, or you can collect them. Check whether delivery is included and how long it takes.
Can I hold a memorial in Nottingham afterwards?
Yes. Many families choose a direct cremation and then hold a memorial or celebration of life at a time and place that suits them — at home, a pub, a place of worship or outdoors.
Do I still need to register the death?
Yes. You must register the death within 5 days of the medical examiner’s office confirming the death can be registered, and give the funeral director the paperwork the registrar provides.
