Funerals can be one of the biggest financial investments we might ever make - and funeral costs rise year on year. This year’s SunLife Cost of Dying report report says that on average, funeral costs increased by 5.3% last year compared with 2024, owing to factors including higher labour costs and increased cremation and burial fees.

That’s why Poppy’s has just announced a new Simple Cremation with Service offering. This is a lower-cost option for those who are looking for a simple, quality funeral - delivered, as always, with Poppy’s outstanding care for the living and the dead.

A large funeral isn’t right for everyone.

For some, a simple, modest service is a more meaningful tribute.

Poppy’s Simple Cremation with Service will take place at Lambeth Crematorium in Wandsworth and includes a 20-minute service on 9am on the day of your choosing.

Lambeth Crematorium is next to Poppy’s beautiful, light-filled mortuary, meaning your person will be taken care of a few minutes’ walk from the funeral venue via a peaceful internal road.

Poppy’s has always offered uncomplicated lower-cost funeral options, without ever compromising on our outstanding level of care.

This new offering is yet another way for clients to choose the funeral that’s right for them. Clients have the choice of three classic coffin designs, and can arrange their own flowers or Orders of Service if that’s what’s right for them.

We also offer direct cremations and burials for those who are looking for an unattended cremation or burial without a service. And for those who want to craft a fully personalised funeral for their person, our Full Flexible Support offers no limits on the possibilities for the funeral or ceremony.
