Understanding Modern Cremation Practices

Developed in the late nineteenth century as an answer to crowded cemeteries, cremation has grown steadily in popularity since the 1940s. Today, it is the choice for nearly 70% of people in the UK, offering a practical and often more affordable alternative to burial. While it saves land and offers flexibility, families should be aware of environmental considerations and evolving regulations, especially surrounding emissions and allowable items during the cremation process. Costs have risen in recent years as crematoria install modern filtration systems to reduce emissions. Since 2013, a national levy has helped fund these improvements. Contact us today for personalised solutions.

Local Crematorium Options Available

We work closely with several trusted crematoria, including Aylesbury Vale, Bierton, and Chilterns. Each offers respectful facilities for holding a service and saying goodbye, and because crematoria are non-denominational, you are free to shape the ceremony according to your beliefs and wishes. Cremations are also typically less expensive than burials, making them a popular choice for many families. Whether you're planning a ceremony onsite or at another venue beforehand, we’ll help you coordinate all the details with care.

Things To Consider When Choosing Cremation

Cremation involves specific legal and environmental guidelines. Approval depends on a confirmed cause of death and completion of the required forms. Crematoria have time limits for each service, which can usually be extended for an additional fee. They also have item restrictions, especially on synthetic materials such as football shirts made from man-made fibres, and pacemakers must be removed before the cremation. Our team can guide you through each step, from planning the ceremony to choosing what to do with the ashes.

Ashes And Memorial Choices After Cremation

After the cremation, decisions about the ashes can be deeply personal. You may choose to keep them in a memorial urn, scatter them somewhere meaningful, or arrange a burial. We offer advice on the options available, helping you create a lasting and respectful tribute to your loved one.

We cannot thank Mears Family Funeral directors enough. I am not sure how we would have gone through the tough times without the helpful team who were always there to attend our queries. Totally unaware of how to go about, we went through the funeral of our mum with extreme care, ease and help that Pip and Sally provided us. We are thankful to Mears for all the help they have been with trying to communicate with the registrar, hospital, and we hardly had to get through minute details. Being Hindu's, Pip and Sally accommodated all our religious needs and we are in loss of words to express our heartfelt gratitude. Pip is also very friendly and approachable at all times. Pip and Sally helped us through the certificates and ashes as well, after the cremation service. We can't recommend Mears team enough, and please go ahead with them without a doubt in your mind.
