"A simple farewell should never mean a lesser standard of care. At Merritt's of Midhurst, dignity comes first, always."

At Merritt's of Midhurst, we believe a direct cremation should be carried out with the same care and respect as any other funeral.

Unlike many national providers, we use our traditional funeral hearse for the final journey, and your loved one is received and carried by our professional bearers - never transported on a trolley. Every direct cremation is personally overseen by our experienced local team, ensuring dignity, compassion and respect at every stage.

A simple funeral does not mean a simple standard of care. With Merritt's of Midhurst, your loved one remains in trusted hands throughout.
