A direct cremation does not require a funeral or wake
The Isle of Man's only direct cremation business has opened.
The company, Direct Cremations, offers the service, which does not require a funeral or wake instead once the person dies.
Instead, their body is cremated and their ashes returned to their loved ones for scattering.
Tracey Corlett is the managing director.
She told Chanelle Sukhoo direct cremations costs half of what a funeral would cost:
Peter Padgett passes away
He founded motorcycle business and race team
Horse tram business case 'an investment in guaranteeing our heritage'
MHKs call for further funding for Island's heritage infrastructure
