The Diamond Package is a cremation without a service or attendance.

Cremation Experience Associate

An Affordable Funerals direct cremation includes the deceased being cremated at one of our group owned Award-wining, state-of-the-art Memoria crematoria that are strategically located across the United Kingdom. Memoria Crematoria are located in beautiful settings, featuring lakes, rolling landscapes and seasonal flowers. Conveyance of the deceased’s coffin will take place on the morning of the cremation and will be greeted by a Cremation Experience Associate who is dedicated to overseeing all aspects of the day.

The Cremation Experience Associate will follow the coffin into the Crematorium chapel to peaceful soothing music for the coffin to be placed on the catafalque. After a short period of time the Cremation Experience Associate will bow their head in honour of the deceased for the curtains to be then slowly and beautifully closed.The coffin will then be taken in to the area for the coffin to be placed in the cremator which the Cremation Experience Associate will supervise. Once the cremation is complete, the ashes will be carefully packaged into a Memoria eco box ready for collection by a family member or our own private driver for delivery.
