At Alex Willis, we can assist with direct cremations. A direct cremation has no funeral service or ceremony beforehand. After death, the individual goes straight to the crematorium to be cremated. After this, the ashes are returned to the family.

Direct cremations offer a simple service and doesn’t include a formal funeral. This form of funeral is ideal for those who don’t want a traditional funeral service or simply cannot afford it. Like any cremation, Alex Willis Funeral Home treats the deceased with the utmost respect.

With a direct cremation, there are no time constraints which allows more flexibility. Additionally, if you don’t care for a funeral, you are eliminating all the fuss.

Galgate is a village that once had a thriving silk industry. Much of its historic building work still stands today. However, it has now been converted into studio apartments and small offices.

Winding its way through the village is the Lancaster canal. A 41-mile stretch of water, the canal lends itself to peaceful riverside walks, bike rides and nature watching. Galgate marina has moorings for over 120 boats, providing the perfect base. Next to the canal is The Plough, which is widely known for its selection of ales, gin bar and home cooked food.
