Direct Cremation Reviews - Distinct Cremations

I can't recommend this company highly enough. My wife died suddenly, leaving me floundering. I found Distinct Cremations online after phoning a more prominent alternative, who never returned my call or email! Right from the word go, Distinct were helpful, caring and efficient. Everything was taken care of exactly as my family and I requested, with no problems at all. Even after my wife's ashes had been returned to me, I got a courtesy call from Distinct with assurances that, should I need it, they were still there for me. As I said, I can't recommend them highly enough & I'm about to organise my own funeral with them.

Although it came as a bit of a shock to find out our mum had a plan through Distinct Cremations, I can now understand why they took this plan out. Everything was handled with a profession manner and in a sensitive way, the staff were extremally helpful and always available to answer any questions we had. Although you don't get to have a crematorium service, we have family who live abroad, and getting everybody to attend at the same time would have proved very difficult. So, we waited for the ashes to be returned and arranged a wake at a time that suited the vast majority of the family. The fact that two of my siblings are now considering this type of arrangement speaks volumes. Distinct Cremations was a positive experience for our family.

The service received by Distinct Cremations was absolutely exceptional. I was completely blown away by the care, support and compassion provided by the company and in particular Sarah Miller who looked after me from the very first phone call after we advised them dad had died. She was such a glimmer of light at a very dark time which I shall be forever grateful for. Sarah kept in regular contact and her kind and gentle approach made the process so pressure free that I hardly felt like we were organising a cremation service (which was seamless and beautiful, the location was perfect and the local third party funeral directors that Distinct Cremations used were second to none) The addition of a wonderful celebrant and a photo tribute to dad’s original plan was worth every extra penny. It’s actually very hard to put into words how I feel about Distinct Cremations but during his life my dad was always so thrilled by excellent customer service and he certainly saved the best for last.

Very helpful and understanding. Great explanation of services offered. Followed up to ensure we were happy with our plans.

The actual service was handled very respectfully by the appointed funeral director. They played the music we requested and hand-delivered my wife's ashes.
