About the company

Cremation Low Cost Direct is a cremation services provider serving Greater London. The company offers both attended and unattended cremation services. For attended cremations, friends and relatives are permitted to attend. The attended cremation package includes transportation, a light oak wood effect coffin, and the company's fees. The total cost also covers doctors' certificates, removal of a pacemaker, and ashes delivery.

Ashes can be delivered or collected, usually within a few days. The attended service is a simple, less formal ceremony that may include music and readings. Cremations are arranged at Putney Vale, Islington, Lambeth, Kensal Green, and West Norwood crematoria. Unattended cremations take place at Kensal Green or Lambeth. The process can be started with a single phone call or email.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In London, Cremation Low Cost Direct is repeatedly described as a cremation-only provider whose service brings calm to families facing sudden or expected bereavement. Customers who found the company while searching for a straightforward cremation mention that John, and often Wesley, guided them through each stage with patience and sympathy, whether arrangements were made from abroad or locally.

A recurring theme is the clarity of information given before, during and after the process, with several reviewers noting that quoted costs were honoured and no hidden charges appeared. The same names come up when people describe feeling included and supported, even when COVID-19 restrictions meant no ceremony could take place. Reviewers also highlight the careful handling of the person who had died, from collection to the return of ashes, and the willingness to accommodate personal touches added by families.

Communication by email or phone is described as prompt and accurate, and the overall tone of the work is seen as humane, professional and unhurried, with John and Wesley both singled out for kindness during a difficult time. A point that comes up often is the absence of high-street funeral home pressure, and the service is remembered for making an awful period easier to bear.

Dear Wesley & John. Thank you both for being there when my mum passed recently. My son & l had no idea where to to go or what to do, We then found their company. Excellent from collecting my mother Colin's grandmother, to bringing her home where she belongs. We cannot thank you both enough for your kindness & caring shown to us with total professionalism. We thank you once again. God bless. Christine and Colin

After the sudden death of my father in London and feeling so lost as of what to do as I live abroad, I searched the internet and found Cremation low cost. After contacting them via email I was immediately replied to and given peace of mind speaking to Wesley. It was very hard time for me as I was grieving, and I was also indecisive of how and what I wanted for the day I would say my last goodbye to my dad. Wesley helped me along every step of the way and I can’t describe in words how thankful I am and how kind and understanding Wesley was to me with all of my questions and changes of decisions. The company has the best prices and wonderful service. I wish both Wesley and John the best 🙏❤️

I found Cremation-Low-Cost-Direct by accident looking for cremation only after my husband passed away May 2022 My husband didn’t believe in funerals. From the moment I phoned, till I received his ashes, my experience couldn’t have been any kinder. When I first spoke with John, whose business this is, he walked me through every step. What is advertised doesn’t begin to convey how incredibly kind a person John is. He gives great care in his job under the circumstances. You definitely get a more personalised service. He met me at his own convenience at the registry office to fill out forms. He even personally delivered my husband’s ashes back to me. I can’t thank him enough for making such a difficult time go by with ease.
