Direct Cremation in Milton Keynes
Milton Keynes was designed from scratch in the late 1960s as one of England's new towns, laid out around grid roads and roundabouts rather than the organic, centuries-old street plans found in most English towns. That same planned, no-nonsense practicality extends into how a number of residents approach funeral arrangements too, with direct cremation offering the kind of stripped-back efficiency the town itself was built around.

Yes, they're returned by the funeral director once the cremation is complete, usually within a couple of weeks.
