A note from the Funeral Director:
R. Greaves & Co understands that a "traditional" funeral isn't what every one wants, or it might be that funds are limited.
More people are choosing to take a personal approach to their funeral, as opposed to the traditional funeral, with direct cremations becoming more common. This type of cremation involves the deceased being collected from the place of passing to our chapel of rest until the day of the funeral.
