Sheffield Direct Cremations

At Sheffield Direct Cremations, we are a family-run, independent funeral service, dedicated to supporting families across Sheffield and South Yorkshire. With years of experience providing compassionate, professional bereavement support, we ensure that every farewell is handled with care, dignity, and respect.

Our team has guided countless families through the process of arranging a cremation, understanding the importance of delivering personal and meaningful services. Unlike large national providers, we keep everything local—your loved one remains under the care of our qualified funeral directors and is never transported long distances. Families always speak directly to our dedicated team, not a call centre, ensuring the highest level of support when it matters most.

Our Family

Sheffield Direct Cremations is run by Peter and Julie, alongside their two sons, Matthew and Oliver, who are actively involved in the business. With this two-generation approach, we combine professional expertise with a personal, caring touch, continuing a tradition of supporting families through difficult times.

We pride ourselves on being available 24/7, offering guidance and reassurance whenever families need it. From the first call to the day of the cremation—and beyond—we are here to provide consistent, compassionate support.
