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:
Steam Packet praises passengers and crew following 'significantly rougher' than normal crossing
Bus Vannin invests in six new double-deckers
MiCard alternatives 'must be better than what we already have'
