Early Morning Cremation

This shorter 20 minute service is held close to Crouch End at Islington & St Pancras Crematorium at either 9am or 9.30am with up to 10 attendees.  This is ideal if you prefer a smaller, more intimate family led service to a full funeral ceremony.  The service can be personalised with music, readings and tributes and we also offer a visit to see the person who has died at our Crouch End premises, should you wish.

The Early Morning Cremation service often appeals to families who are seeking a lower cost alternative but who also want to be present, connected and part of the final step of their loved one’s journey

£2,300 inclusive

Unattended Cremation  

This service is often known as a Direct Cremation and is where there is no ceremony and no attendees.  It is the most minimal and least expensive option and has the least amount of choice, however at Exit Here your loved one will be treated with the same level of care and respect as with our bespoke funeral service. Unlike direct cremation providers we will tell you when they are brought into our care at either our Chiswick or Crouch End homes, and when and where the cremation will be (usually at Mortlake or Islington & St Pancras crematoriums).  You can also choose a song for the ceremony, place personal items in the coffin and we will take a photo of the coffin at the crematorium, if you wish. 

If you want to know more about Direct Cremations and how Exit Here differs from other funeral directors and providers, read here.
