I can't sing the praises of Pure Cremation highly enough. My Husband died very quickly of Pancreatic Cancer during Covid in March 2021. There were no funeral arrangements in place and none of us wanted a socially distanced funeral. My two children were heartbroken and I couldn't imagine anything worse than subjecting them to another funeral let alone their own Father's. Pure Cremation handled everything very sensitively and whilst their was an initial misunderstanding as regards paperwork, this was rectified quickly. Pure sent my Husband's ashes home and even when I had to ask them to come back at a later date and return the ashes for scattering at their own crematorium ( I didn't receive any response to my emails or phone calls from Sunderland Crematorium until quite a lot later) everything was handled very smoothly. When my Mother died more recently in February 2022 she had a prepaid plan with Pure and everything was very straightforward, even when we altered the original plan & asked if my Sister could collect the ashes to scatter at York Crematorium. I have been so impressed that I have taken out a plan with Pure Cremation for myself. My eldest child has a mild learning disability and wouldn't be able to organise a funeral and my youngest child will have quite enough to sort out without having to worry about funerals and what to say or what not to say. The whole process of death is disruptive, emotionally draining and harrowing. Funerals add another layer of unnecessary complication to the whole process. I also feel happy knowing that I will be scattered at the same location as my beloved late Husband. My children have also commented on how much better they feel for not having had to endure a funeral. Thank you very much. I have been able to grieve with my family in a dignified, quiet manner during these painful times and that is all anyone can really ask.
