If you are considering an unattended cremation, look no further than Harbour View Crematorium. With full onsite funeral home facilities, including Chapels of Rest, everything that is needed is immediately available for a prompt and efficient service at a reasonable price.
Direct cremation, also known as unattended cremation, is a basic cremation service without a funeral ceremony and without any mourners or attendees other than the crematorium staff. The cremation takes place at a time to suit the crematorium.
Following cremation the cremated remains are available to the deceased’s family, who are then free to choose what should happen with them. At Harbour View Crematorium we will be pleased to scatter the cremated remains in our peaceful beautiful surroundings at no extra cost.
There could be many reasons, the strongest being that it was the deceased persons' wish, either agreed beforehand with the family or as specified in their will. If this is the case, there is nothing to prevent family and friends holding a celebratory or remembrance ceremony of their own devising, at a time and place to suit. At Harbour View we can assist with this as well – we have Ceremony Halls and Refreshment Suites with many options to choose from.
Other reasons for such a wish may include a desire to keep costs down, or there may be no surviving friends or family.
The cost of direct cremation varies and we don’t pretend to be the least expensive. However, we are based in the heart of Dorset in a beautiful location and we are a long-established Company owned by the same family for 120 years. Local families know us and are familiar with where Harbour View is located. We believe we charge a fair price for a simple but prompt, efficient and good quality service.

Our charge of £1900 (or £1700 when instructing us online) includes not only the cremation itself but everything else that is required to facilitate the cremation, such as collection of the deceased person, coffin and administration. Harbour View is not a typical crematorium - it is both funeral home and crematorium, so everything that is required is available at the one location. Please see our Price List (in particular, the sample packages) to find a specification of what is included and excluded.
Just get in touch with us by email or telephone, whichever is most convenient to you. If you prefer, you can make all arrangements via the Enquiry Form below and as this saves us some time, we reduce our charge by £200.
