We are proud to offer a simple, dignified, and affordable alternative to traditional funerals — always ensuring your loved one remains in our trusted, professional care at every stage.

When you choose York Direct Cremation, you’ll speak directly to our experienced team — never to a call centre.
About York Direct Cremation
With over three decades of compassionate service
At York Funeral Services, we specialise in direct cremations, offering a simple, respectful, and affordable alternative to a traditional funeral. As a local, family-owned funeral provider, we are committed to caring for your loved one with dignity, compassion, and professionalism every step of the way.
Unlike many direct cremation providers, we transport your loved one to the crematorium using a traditional hearse, not a van — because every journey matters.

What is a Direct Cremation?
Direct cremation is a simple, private cremation without a formal service at the crematorium. It’s a dignified choice for families who wish to celebrate their loved one’s life in their own time and in their own way — whether that's a private family gathering, a memorial event, or a scattering of ashes at a special place.
