A direct cremation can be a simple, low-cost means of saying goodbye.
Depending upon the individual circumstances, the things that need to be done immediately following a bereavement will vary.
If you’re ready to arrange a cremation, submit your details using our simple Direct Cremation form, and we will contact you to confirm arrangements.
We will collect your loved one in our Private Ambulance and bring them into our care. You can choose our Northfield, Rubery or Cotteridge premises.
Our team cares for your loved one and makes all the necessary arrangements with you over the phone or by e-mail.
We will let you know when the cremation will take place to allow you the opportunity to pause and reflect should you wish.
The cremation will take place at Waseley Hills Crematorium at the earliest opportunity. We will share the date and time with you so you can mark the occasion in your own way.
Other locations are available upon request (costs may vary).
Ashes are scattered in the Gardens of Rest at the chosen Crematorium.
Other options are available upon request.
Inclusive of disbursements
We have several options to help you say goodbye. You can say goodbye in your own time or arrange a moment of reflection with a chapel service with a limited number of family and friends.

All of our calls are recorded for training and monitoring purposes
A direct cremation is a simple, low-cost unattended funeral. We will collect and care for your loved one and make all of the cremation arrangements with you over the phone or by e-mail.
There is no funeral director and family and friends are unable to attend this type of funeral.
Your loved one’s ashes can either be scattered free of charge at the chosen Crematorium or be available for collection from our premises within 2 working days of the Cremation, allowing you to make your own arrangements to celebrate the passing of a loved one in your own time. We can help with alternative options.
Direct cremations reduce the overall cost by reducing the service provided, i.e. no officiant, limousines or flowers.
We will make all direct cremation arrangements over the phone or by e-mail. The necessary paperwork can be posted to you if you wish.
Direct Cremations typically take place much quicker than a traditional funeral and we will advise you of the date and time.
Unlike many direct cremation providers, Mortons are established independent funeral directors, serving the community since 1898. We understand that saying goodbye means everything.
We apply the same care, respect and attention to detail to a direct cremation as we would a traditional funeral.
We believe it’s comforting to know that your loved one will be cared for by us at our premises and we provide a local but competitively priced direct cremation option.
Family and friends aren’t able to attend an unattended direct cremation. However, they can attend chapel time options. We also offer attended cremation services. Please call us on 0121 476 9111 to discuss your requirements.
We will keep you updated throughout the course of arrangements. This includes letting you know the date of the cremation and when we expect the delivery of your ashes will be. This will allow you to mark the day in remembrance should you wish.
The cremation will take place at Waseley Hills Crematorium unless otherwise specified by you.
Your loved one’s ashes will either be scattered in the Gardens of Rest at the chosen Crematorium or be available for collection from our premises within 2 working days after the cremation.
We can assist with the forwarding of ashes nationwide, ashes interments or scatterings elsewhere and the provision of keepsakes and jewellery.
If you would like to discuss alternative arrangements, please speak to a member of our team.
