Anne Smith
I would highly recomend Direct Cremation. We used them twice within two months.Mel was lovely, kind and very compassionate.
A very professional company to deal with.
Thankyou
Sharon Smith
Direct Cremations made the process very simple at a time when everything seemed very difficult. Their service is efficient. It was also very reasonably priced.
Lyn Altenburg
The service was far more personable than I expected, in that we were able to see my father in the chapel of rest. It was very quick and straightforward, and overall I would highly recommend a direct cremation over a traditional.
My only bit of feedback was there were a couple of times where I had to chase up communication, which isn't something you need in such circumstances. But the team were helpful and sympathetic. So overall thank you.
andrea hone
Absolutely would recommend fantastic service from start to finish thanks again
Shaun Humber
The service provided by Sim, Mel and the Direct Cremations team was above compare. They made everything so easy and effortless at a time when I I really didn't need complications. I am very grateful for the care and compassion they showed my wife up to her cremation. The eco friendly casket was also something that my wife would have loved.
Helen Speight
Was a very smooth process from contacting the company to the date of the cremation.
samantha Malecki
I couldn't recommend DCSY enough! Within a year they have taken on 2 cremations of family members for me. During such a difficult year they made the cremation process so easy for us. They took care of literally everything, meaning we had time to process, answered any questions we had, nothing was ever too much! They have such a caring approach be that over the phone or in person. I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone! Your loved ones will be in great hands for their final journey.
Chantelle Hague
Losing our precious unborn baby was the hardest thing we have ever had to face, but the team at Direct Cremation South Yorkshire handled everything with the utmost gentleness, respect, and empathy. From our very first call, they treated us and our baby with incredible dignity, taking a massive weight off our shoulders when we were entirely overwhelmed with grief. We cannot thank them enough for the kindness and deep comfort they showed our family through every step of this painful journey. Truly exceptional and compassionate local care.

Outstanding care and attention. We're not local to the area anymore so finding someone to help us out with the arrangements was tricky but we settled on Direct Cremations South Yorkshire and so glad we did. We were guided through everything by Mel and no details left out but at the same time it was so straight forward which was exactly what we needed. Thank you.
