At Variety Funerals, we understand that saying goodbye is never easy. Planning a funeral that truly reflects your loved one and their life can feel overwhelming. That’s why we believe in offering simple, dignified options that allow you to focus on what matters most: remembering and celebrating the person you’ve lost.

We specialise in cremation services and offer two alternative packages designed to cater to different needs and preferences:

Variety Solo: Unattended Direct Cremation

This option provides a peaceful and private farewell without the formality of a traditional service. It’s a straightforward and cost-effective choice that allows you to commemorate your loved one in your own way and time.

Here’s what’s included:

  • Collection and care of the deceased: We’ll sensitively handle all necessary arrangements for bringing your loved one into our care.
  • Completion of all legal documentation: We’ll guide you through the required paperwork and ensure everything is in order.
  • Simple coffin: A dignified wood effect coffin is provided.
  • Cremation at an allocated crematorium: The cremation takes place without any attendees.
  • Provision of ashes: We’ll provide your loved one’s ashes to you in a simple container, allowing you to scatter, bury, or keep them as you wish.

Variety Solo might be right for you if:

  • You prefer a private and intimate farewell.
  • You’re looking for a simple and affordable option.
  • You want flexibility in how you commemorate your loved one after the cremation.

Variety Plus: Attended Cremation with Simple Service

This package allows you to gather with family and friends to say goodbye in a meaningful way. It offers a balance between simplicity and a more traditional farewell.

Here’s what’s included:

  • All the features of Variety Solo: Collection, care, documentation, coffin, and cremation.
  • Use of a chapel at the crematorium: You’ll have dedicated time in a peaceful setting to hold a service at any crematorium of your choice in England or Wales.
  • Opportunity for personal touches: You can personalise the service with readings, music, or eulogies.
  • Attendance of family and friends: Loved ones can come together to support each other and share memories.

Variety Plus might be right for you if:

  • You want a more traditional farewell with a service.
  • You desire a space for loved ones to gather and support each other.
  • You wish to personalise the service with readings or music.

Important to Note:

While we strive to offer flexibility, there are certain services we don’t provide:

  • Burial services: We specialise in cremation and do not offer burials.
  • Elaborate funeral services: We focus on simple services held at the crematorium. We do not facilitate services at churches or other religious buildings.
