Distinct Cremations

Distinct Cremations.
I saw the TV ad, gave them a ring, and had a nice conversation with “Sharon.”
She explained every aspect of the process while answering all my questions - without pressing for commitment. The next day, having researched a few other companies, I opted for Distinct. It wasn’t a difficult decision.
Besides, if it’s good enough for Sue Cook, it’ll do for me.

Lovely people

From the 1st phone call i made they were so helpful, respectful and could not do enough for me. They kept in contact with updates on a regular basis. Everyone that i spoke to was very sincere and nothing was too much trouble. I would definately recommend them.

I am so happy we chose distinct cremations , I dealt with a lovely lady called Natalie who explained everything to me and so I could decide what was the best option for my Husband and I .
It’s so easy to set up and even received a courtesy call to check we had received everything and did we have any worries. I would highly recommend this company if this is the path you want to take .

Highly recommend

They were very professional, caring and very supportive at such a difficult time. Everything was very straightforward, easy to plan a family lead service whilst still having support and guidance, with how we wanted to service to run.
We can't thank Maxine enough for the support and kindness during a very difficult time. Maxine would contact us every step of the way, from the date my dad was taken into their care, to the return of his ashes. Maxine was fantastic.
If we had a questions or worries they were always at the end of the phone. Highly recommend

I would recommend Distinct Cremations

Distinct Cremations made this very difficult time stress free. Kerry, my dedicated contact explained the whole process very clearly and was kind and thoughtful and a great help. Kerry called me at every step with dates, times and locations. I would recommend Distinct Cremations to anyone thinking of having this form of service when they die.

What it says on the tin!!

Facts plain and simple. The staff explained in detail what would happen if I signed up, no hidden agenda, no add ons.
The staff always communicated with warmth and understanding on a subject that could be very personal.

Very professional and compassionate

One simple phone call to Distinct Cremations to arrange my wife's funeral.They handled all the arrangements from start to finish with compassion and professionalism.
A special mention for Kerry Ludlow who was superb in providing all the support and information all the way from the start to the conclusion.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Distinct Cremations to anyone.

Thank you Distinct Cremations.

Distinct Cremations dealt with all aspects of mum's funeral and cremation in a dignified and respectful way. They treated us with kindness and compassion, and kept us informed about what would happen when. They clearly explained to us the options and choices available to us, and we never felt pressured or obligated in any way. Mum's wedding ring and her ashes were safely returned to us, with the lady returning mum's ashes arriving at exactly the time she said she would. My brother and I are glad we chose Distinct Cremations to take care of mum's cremation.

Got a very competitive quote from Distinct. I spoke to a representative who was very polite and helpful, she went through all the details with me to make sure I understood everything about the plan. Excellent service, will definitely recommend.
