Private Chapel of Rest Service with Unattended Direct Cremation

£2049 – Fully Inclusive

At Thomas J Gray Funeral Service, we believe in offering families a dignified and meaningful farewell — even when choosing a simpler cremation arrangement. Our Private Chapel of Rest Service with an unattended direct cremation provides a calm, personal opportunity to say goodbye, with the option of a small service held in our private chapel before the cremation takes place.

This option offers both comfort and flexibility — allowing close family and friends to gather in a respectful setting, without the need for a formal crematorium service.
