As is the same for all Age Co Low Cost Cremation Plans, a funeral director does not attend the cremation, and there are no limousines, a hearse, or pallbearers. Just the essential elements of the cremation are retained, meaning the cost can be kept low.
In addition to the features of the Buttercup Plan, the Daffodil Plan adds a short time for up to 12 loved ones or mourners to be present when the chapel attendant commits the body for cremation, and if they wish, a few words can be said.
Of course, what remains is the care, sentiment, and respect for the deceased from experienced and professional staff. The funeral personnel will arrange for a dignified cremation to take place, with the ashes returned to your loved ones in a simple container.
