Direct Cremation in Hastings
Liberty Cremations provides families in Hastings and the surrounding area with a straightforward and dignified direct cremation service, delivered with care and compassion.
A Contemporary Service, Built on Generations of Care
While our roots lie in traditional funeral care, we recognise that many families in Hastings now prefer a simpler, more flexible approach. We provide families with a highly local direct cremation service.
As we operate throughout East Sussex, our team can draw on long established expertise and experience of cremations throughout the county. This allows us to guide families around their cremation options, assist with a comparison of costs, and explain what happens before, on the day of, and after a cremation.
Understanding Direct Cremation
Direct cremation focuses on the essential elements of cremation, without a formal service at the crematorium. This service includes:
- Collection of your loved one from a hospital, coroner, or funeral director
- Care and preparation by our trained team
- All legal and administrative arrangements
- A simple cremation coffin
- A private, unattended cremation
- Return of ashes to your chosen address, or respectful scattering
By removing the need for a ceremony on the day, direct cremation remains both private and cost-effective, while still being handled with professionalism and respect. Families often choose this option because it allows:
- A calm and uncomplicated farewell
- Lower costs compared with traditional funerals
- Time to plan a personal memorial later
- Greater flexibility around dates and arrangements
- A different kind of farewell, all that you need, nothing you don’t
