A local and Affordable Direct Cremation in Cannock
More families are choosing a pure cremation or direct cremation because it offers a simple, affordable alternative to a traditional funeral service.
At A.J. Sellman Funeral Directors—a sixth-generation independent family business in Cannock—we believe that an affordable direct cremation can still be a dignified and deeply respectful experience. Choosing a simple farewell should never mean compromising on care, compassion, or peace of mind.
The True Meaning of Dignity in a Direct or Pure Cremation
Dignity means respect for your loved one and thoughtful support for the grieving family. We understand that a direct cremation still needs to “feel right.” Even without a funeral service in attendance, a pure direct cremation should offer complete reassurance that your loved one is being cared for with the utmost professionalism.
Our approach ensures that cost is never a barrier to quality. Every direct cremation is handled with dignity—from the moment your loved one comes into our care to the committal at the crematorium. We include thoughtful touches such as playing music and saying words of committal, ensuring a respectful and meaningful farewell.
