Most traditional funerals take place during the week. Funeral Directors and crematoria often charge extra to hold a funeral at a weekend, and may only take weekend bookings by request.
At Simplicity, we offer affordable funerals for those looking for an altogether simpler affair. We let you choose how, where and when you say goodbye to your loved one without being constrained to the traditions of a normal funeral.
For some people, this means not holding a funeral service at the crematorium at all. As all of our funerals are arranged over the telephone, the timescales involved with a Simplicity Cremation can differ slightly in comparison to a traditional funeral. It will be a minimum of 14 days after payment before the cremation takes place, to allow us to cover the cooling off period in the Consumer Contracts Regulations.
Aside from this, the date a Simplicity Cremation takes place is dependent on the availability at the crematoria where the cremation will take place, as with a traditional funeral.
Due to the direct nature of our services, a Simplicity Cremation cannot be held on the weekend or on bank holidays. We provide you will all of the practical and essential elements of a cremation, without the obligation to pay for traditional ceremonial elements you might not want. There are however a few key differences between our funerals, including the days of which they can take place.
A direct cremation takes place without a service and without any mourners present. For this reason, our Unattended Funeral takes place on a time and date of our choosing. Choosing a date for the funeral that suits everyone can be difficult, and with more families and friends living further apart than ever before, it can be difficult for mourners to make arrangements to travel to the place where the funeral is taking place, especially at short notice.
A direct cremation, allows you to hold the funeral without a service, so you can hold a celebration of life or memorial at any time, giving more time for family and friends to make arrangements to attend.

Waiting times for cremation range from days, but as pressure on crematoriums increases it can take up to three weeks to get an appropriate slot. This is also the typical waiting time for a burial. Choosing an officiant or celebrant can also impact the time it takes to hold a funeral.
Although, unlike with a marriage, anyone can conduct a funeral service in the UK, most people choose to have the funeral service led by individuals with experience in conducting religious, humanist or civil services. This means considering their schedule and matching their availability with times available at the cemetery or crematorium.
If you don't have anyone in mind, your funeral director can suggest celebrants who work locally to you. The availability of facilities such as the crematorium or graveyard for a burial can also lead to delays, with waiting times in some areas being up to three weeks. The length of time required to book a crematorium slot is particularly dependant on location; the number of crematoriums in your local area can vary and in areas with less capacity, waiting times are longer.
The time of year can also have an impact, with public holidays causing delays. The final factor determining the timing of a funeral is the availability of the family and friends of the deceased. In some cases, time needs to be allowed for travel, often overseas, and to give people the opportunity to arrange time off work. It can help to let people know a rough date as soon as possible, even if an official date is still be arranged, to allow loved ones to begin their own planning.
Taking all the factors involved in organising a funeral, from getting official documentation to scheduling time for officials and facilities, the average funeral is held between 13 and 16 days after a death. One of the best ways to save time when organising a funeral is to plan ahead.
