Direct Cremations

Russell & Craddock Direct Cremations Ltd
A Simple, Affordable & Dignified Farewell – Locally Delivered with Compassion
Proudly serving families across Droitwich Spa, Worcester, Redditch, Bromsgrove, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, Leamington Spa, and all surrounding areas within a 30-mile radius.
A Trusted Alternative to Traditional Funerals
Direct cremation is a respectful, unattended cremation without a formal service. It gives families the freedom to say goodbye in their own way — privately, meaningfully, and without the financial burden or pressure of a large ceremony.
At Russell & Craddock Direct Cremations Ltd, we offer this service from just £1,350, providing a complete, transparent, and locally delivered farewell — handled entirely by our own professional team from beginning to end.
