Direct cremation is a simple, cost-effective option without a formal ceremony. Families receive ashes post-cremation, with full administrative support. This service includes professional care, documentation, and crematorium fees, ensuring dignity and respect throughout the process.
Memorial Service
Memorial services honor a loved one with personalized tributes, floral arrangements, and printed orders of service. These events can be held at preferred venues, offering flexibility in format and content to reflect individual preferences and cultural traditions.
Repatriation Services
We manage all aspects of repatriating loved ones across borders, including documentation, transportation, and coordination with overseas providers. Our expertise ensures compliance with international regulations while maintaining compassionate, seamless arrangements for families abroad.

Woodland burials offer a natural, sustainable alternative with biodegradable coffins and no traditional headstones. We guide families through site selection, ceremony planning, and eco-conscious options, fostering a lasting connection with nature while respecting environmental values.

We approached David Button funeral directors on a personal recommendation following the death of my father. They were responsive, caring and efficient. They replied promptly both to our initial and any subsequent queries. They went through all the elements of what was required in a calm and sensitive way and we felt we had as long as we needed to reflect on what we wanted to do at the funeral and interment without being hurried or pushed in any particular direction.

We where recommended David Button Funeral Service by a family friend and I couldnt have been anymore grateful for all they have done for us. The service was professional yet personalised. They took into consideration our family culture and went above and beyond to make everything happen within one week. I could not fault their service. From the first approach David Button was very prompt with his replies. He kept the family up to date with everything and also helping to liaise with the registrars when there was a complication. When visiting my father in the chapel of rest - he was laid in

I would like to commend David Button Independent Funeral Directors for their impeccable service during a very difficult time. The communication from everyone and in particular Joanna was at all times considered, sympathetic and kind. Nothing was too much trouble and they made everything very easy for us. They always had time for us and made us feel very comfortable in our choices. The recommended celebrant, Julian, was first class and again made everything as easy as possible for us. A big thank you to all at David Button's for their service and professionalism.

Highly recommend David Button & the full team. In the last six months we had to use his services twice. The first time we were frankly clueless and he was able to explain it all easily. Communication was great, especially as my father who was arranging the funeral lived abroad, so had to rely on phone/email. Everything was arranged professionally well in advance. It may sound weird but the service was lovely despite the circumstances due to minister(?) appointed at Seven Hills crematorium. Second time round was during even stricter lockdown which meant barely any family could attend but again the

I recently entrusted the arrangements for the funeral of my father-in-law to David Button Independent Funeral Directors and am delighted with the service provided by them. From my initial meeting with their team, they provided a warm and friendly atmosphere in which to discuss the various aspects of the service. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they accepted responsibility for organising everything from floral tributes and Order of Service cards to appointing an appropriate celebrant to lead the proceedings. The service was carried out in a relaxed atmosphere with dignity and kindness
