Very personal focus based company

Throughout the whole process Distinct Cremations were dignified, respectful and very supportive with carrying out the services we had bought. There was one person who gave dedicated time to handling the details needed, which was very much appreciated given the sensitive nature of what our family was going through.

Peace of mind

It was easy to arrange the pre paid funeral and the follow up phone call was a chance to ask any questions I had. It was also good to be informed that I can contact them with any concerns or questions I have in future.

So simple to arrange

From the moment of our initial enquiry until completion of our chosen Plan, everything was so clear, straightforward & easy to arrange. Also received a very kind courtesy call today to ensure we are happy with everything. I would highly recommend Distinct Cremations.

This arrangement was made for my father. The setting up was very efficiently done and the staff were totally understanding of our reasons for this arrangement. They were courteous and the paperwork arrived in excellent time. Many thanks.

Amazing Experience in Difficult Circumstances

I read lots of reviews before choosing this company for my dad's direct cremation, and from the offset Sarah Miller made me feel confident and assured that my dad was in the right hands. She spoke to me with genuine compassion and empathy and truly is a credit to the company. I was kept informed every step of the way, and everything was made clear and all wishes followed out. Additionally, the man who delivered my dad's ashes back to my step mum was considerate and caring when she got upset. The wicker box and plaque were beautiful too. Would highly recommend this company, and in particular, Sarah Miller. Many thanks for taking care of my dad and returning him safely to us.
