Local, Independent, and Family-Run
With over 134 years of experience, Shropshire Direct Cremation is a historic and generational family-run, independent funeral home dedicated to serving families throughout Shropshire. We pride ourselves on offering compassionate, dignified cremation services tailored to your needs. Unlike many corporate cremation providers, we ensure your loved one stays local, cared for by a qualified funeral director at all times—not transported across the country or handled by a call centre.
