If you want a direct crem, arrange one through your local funeral director and crem. This way you can still be visited instead of being whisked off. Most local directs take you through the front door and place you on the catafalque. They may even be cheaper than Pure. metro.co.uk/2026/10/05/a...

Maybe you've watched the debate about trans people and quietly thought: “this doesn't represent me!” If you believe in fairness, treating people with kindness, and don't think making life harder for trans+ people makes life better for women - that's a voice worth hearing too. ✍️ notinourname.org.uk
