Has anyone done this? Not actually gone to the Crematorium? DH's mother died at the weekend. We are planning a small memorial service for her and the idea of a direct cremation has come up. Just wondering if anyone else has done it and whether they were happy with their decision or afterwards wished they'd been there? We both hate the bit in a cremation where the coffin disappears so this would be a way of avoiding it altogether. Plus we were there when she died so we have already said our goodbyes to her. Because of Covid most friends cant attend anyway, plus most of family are overseas anyway. Those that would normally attend are coming to the memorial so cremation would literally be 4 of us.
