Direct Cremation:
A traditional funeral isn’t everyone’s preferred choice; some don’t want a service of any kind and instead prefer a direct cremation option.
A direct cremation includes us taking the person who has died into our care, arranging the cremation with our local crematorium, the completion and delivery of all paperwork, a simple veneered coffin, family visits in our chapel and taking the person who has died to the crematorium where no service will take place.
The cost of a simple cremation is £1200.00 plus disbursements.
The money spent on funeral fees will provide you with the best, most experienced and caring funeral team in Marlborough.
From burial costs to cremation costs, we hope this funeral cost breakdown is helpful to you. For more information, or if you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today. You can find more information about things to consider and funeral types online.

Our recent experience of engaging Daniel Claridge funeral services was nothing less than exceptional. Throughout this difficult and emotional time, all of the team were kind, supportive and thoroughly fantastic. Every detail, from the moment they took dad into their care, to presenting us with dad’s ashes was attended to and all involved were patient and thoughtful. Dad had a beautiful funeral and everything we wanted was facilitated without question and with such dignity.My family’s heartfelt thanks are sent to all of the team, we will remain forever grateful to all at Claridge Funeral Services.

Everything that you did to assist with Jane’s funeral went so smoothly, so professionally, that we couldn’t have possibly hoped for any more. From that first contact, right through the discussions about the arrangements, and to the service itself, everything went like clockwork. Quiet, friendly - but not too familiar – just the right amount of care, consideration, empathy, sympathy and respect for all involved. Thank you for the bottom of all of our hearts. You should be rightly proud of everything that you do and everything that you have done for us.

Claridge Funeral Service could not have done a more professional and personal service for my dear late Mother if they had tried. She herself would have been overjoyed with the way everything was organised and presented. Everything was dealt with promptly and the various personal touches which they added into the service was beyond expectations. I can not recommend them highly enough in every aspect. Thank you once again, our kindest gratitude and eternal appreciation. Thank You.
