About Direct Burial

A simpler way to choose burial.

Direct Burial is a trading name of Respect Funeral Services. We combine experienced professional care with a clear, unattended natural burial service.

Established in 2010

Created for families who want something different.

Some people do not want a traditional funeral, but they do not want cremation either. Direct Burial provides another choice: professional care followed by a simple burial at our established natural green burial park.

The service is deliberately straightforward. There is no formal ceremony or hearse procession and no requirement for anyone to attend the burial. Afterwards, there is a permanent resting place that family and friends can visit.

Our £1,985 national service includes collection from any hospital in England or Wales and burial at our park in Laughton, Lincolnshire.

Clear

One understandable service, transparent pricing and no unnecessary extras.

Caring

Every person is treated professionally, respectfully and with dignity.

Permanent

Every plot at our park is guaranteed forever and will never be reused.

Professional standards

Experienced care, supported by recognised organisations.

Our memberships, recommendations and industry recognition support the standards families should expect when placing somebody in our care.
