L.W. Clutterbuck Ltd can arrange cremations and direct cremations, depending on your loved one’s preferences. A direct cremation is a cremation with no funeral service or ceremony beforehand. These are a popular service if you wish to break from tradition and celebrate your loved one’s life at a time and place that suits you and your family. We offer cremations across Wotton-under-Edge, Thornbury and Dursley at our facility in Cam. Our respectful cremations cover all aspects, including constant support, following crematorium regulations and help with doctor’s cremation forms.
If direct cremation isn't for you, we also offer bespoke and traditional funeral services to suit various budgets and wishes. Please read our testimonials to learn more about our cremations and funerals.

Cremation regulations mean that our funeral directors are responsible for ensuring the materials used will not pollute the environment. This can limit some of the choices available to families for coffins and decoration.
Doctor’s Cremation Forms are completed by a doctor, usually the GP or doctor who treated the person in the hospital and are more detailed than the medical cause of death certificate. The doctor has to speak to someone connected with the deceased, so you might get a phone call about this.
When someone dies, the death must be certified by a Medical Practioner (GP) unless the death is referred to H. M Coroner (e.g. if it is unexpected or as a result of an industrial disease). When the death is certified the doctor issues a Medical Cause of Death Certificate. This is sent to the Registrar of Births, Deaths and Marriages where usually the next of kin must attend to register the death.
The L.W. Clutterbuck Ltd team can advise on all aspects of our direct cremations to help you decide if they are right for your loved one. With our Headquarters in Cam and a branch in Thornbury, we can provide services across Dursley and Wotton-under-Edge.
