Tyne and Wear Direct Cremation
At Tyne and Wear Direct Cremation, we are a family-run, independent funeral service dedicated to supporting families across Sunderland, Newcastle, Gateshead, South Tyneside, and North Tyneside. Since 2014, we have provided professional and compassionate bereavement support, ensuring that every farewell is handled with care, dignity, and respect.
With over 1,000 funerals conducted, officiated, or arranged by our experienced team, we understand the importance of providing a personal and meaningful service. Unlike large corporate providers, we keep everything local—your loved one will always remain under the care of our qualified funeral directors and will never be transported across the country. You will always deal directly with our dedicated team, not a call centre, ensuring the highest level of support when you need it most.
Our Commitment to Families
At Tyne and Wear Direct Cremation, we believe that every farewell should be personal, dignified, and affordable. Our direct cremation services provide a simple and stress-free alternative to a traditional funeral, allowing families to say goodbye in a way that suits them best—without the pressure of organising a formal ceremony.
From the moment you contact us, we are here to guide you with compassion and professionalism. We arrange all aspects of the cremation locally, ensuring that your loved one is transported with dignity in a private ambulance or hearse to a trusted local crematorium.
What Makes Us Different?
