Collection
They will collect the deceased from anywhere in Great Britain and take care of them at their mortuary facilities. This includes suitable transport to the crematorium for cremation. Cremation CoLTM take care of everything including the removal of artificial devices such as pacemakers and handling of paperwork. The direct cremation will take place at their trusted partner crematorium and they will let next of kin contacts know the date and time it will take place.
Ashes returned
Delivered on a day that suits the designated contact, usually within 14 days after cremation. Ashes are returned in a biodegradable urn which can be buried or used to scatter in a special location.
Celebration
Your next of kin are free to gather the people that matter, at a time that suits everyone, to celebrate the life of the loved one in whatever manner has been decided. Celebration of LifeTM [https://www.col.co.uk/] Celebration of LifeTM was created out of a frustration with the solemn and outdated Victorian
funeral tradition, far removed from today’s preference for a Celebration of LifeTM. It’s been important for them to set themselves apart and move away from the stuffy convention and obscure pricing on the high street.
A tree planted in memory
Celebration of LifeTM donate to plant a tree with the National Trust 'Plant a Tree Fund' for every service they perform. A certificate is provided in memory of your loved one by the National Trust.
Pre-Paid Direct Cremation Funeral Plan Free!
The NCCF has partnered with Celebration of LifeTM to offer pre-paid Direct Cremation funeral plans to many of our beneficiaries. If you are eligible to apply for a pre-paid funeral under the NCCF Celebration of LifeTM scheme
you will have the assurance and comfort that your funeral needs are satisfied, and your loved ones will be able to celebrate your life according to your wishes. You will also be able to release any savings you were keeping to cover funeral costs and use them to increase your wellbeing.
How Does the Scheme Work?
You complete an initial application form and submit it to the NCCF. We evaluate the form and ensure the current criteria are satisfied. Providing you meet the current criteria you will receive your pre-paid funeral package documentation which will contain all the details of your arrangement and contact instructions to give to your next of kin and or executors. It really is as simple as that. The NCCF will set up and pay for your pre-paid direct cremation funeral plan through Celebration of LifeTM with no cost to yourself.
CAMPAIGN SPRING 2022
Currently the criteria for receiving an NCCF funded pre-paid direct cremation funeral are as follows:
● British Nuclear Test Veteran
● Resident within Great Britain
● Less than £6,000 in savings and investments
