Welcome to DANIEL ROBINSON & SONS
Direct Cremation
Your local direct cremation service in Harlow, Bishop’s Stortford, Sawbridgeworth, Epping, Loughton, Waltham Abbey, Great Dunmow, Braintree, Halstead, and the surrounding areas.
Daniel Robinson & Sons has an excellent reputation for offering both traditional and contemporary funeral services. We also offer a Direct Cremation service, both at the time of need and for advance funeral planning.
How It Works
A direct cremation in its basic form is very different to a funeral, as there is no service for mourners to attend. We offer a local alternative with a more personal service to national Direct Cremation providers. Families also have greater flexibility, including the option to say farewell to their loved one in our Chapel of Rest.
Why Choose Local?
Choice And An Opportunity To Say 'Farewell'
We offer additional, optional services such as allowing for the preparation of the individual to enable families to say their farewells in our Chapel of Rest.
A Dedicated Local Team
We are dedicated to the community and to customer service; you will never be speaking with someone in a call centre.
Timely Service
We will arrange the cremation in a timely manner, usually within a few days – but many national companies can often take several weeks to complete the cremation, which can be a stressful time for those who are grieving.
Care
Your loved one is transferred to our Chapel of Rest at our funeral home, in the local community, by our trained and dedicated team. National companies often leave the person who has died for long periods of time in hospital mortuaries, with no preparation or care, before transporting them to a crematorium, sometimes hundreds of miles away.
Is It The Right Choice For You And Your Family?
We believe it’s important to consider whether a direct cremation is the best option for you, or if an attended funeral service would be the right choice.
A funeral is very often the start of the healing process following bereavement. It’s traditionally a time for family and friends to come together; to grieve, to share memories and support each other. Without a funeral service, that opportunity may be lost.
Funerals today do not need to follow a particular format, they are not always religious, and have more emphasis on a celebration of life. We would encourage you to take some time to open a discussion with your family and friends to help you decide if direct cremation is the right path to take, not just for the person who has died, but also for those who are left behind.
We support the ‘Let’s Talk About Direct Cremation’ campaign, which has been launched by the National Society of Allied & Independent Funeral Directors.
