Yes – many wakes are now held after the funeral has taken place, allowing people to come together to celebrate the life of the deceased.

There can occasionally be restrictions on scattering ashes in certain locations. If you’ve got a specific location in mind, it’s best to speak to someone associated with that destination before making your decision.

There’s no limit on how many people can attend a wake, only as many as the organiser and venue are comfortable with.

A wake is a social gathering that takes place either before or after a funeral.

Very easy to set up a funeral plan on line. All the information was very easy to understand and prices very reasonable, so pleased with everything my husband decided to purchase a plan as well

I spoke to Tracey, she was so polite and helpful. I took out 2 policies. She just asked questions, i had no writing to do. So easy. I was never forced into purchasing a policy in any way. I would totally recommend Distinct Cremations. Thank you Tracey.

We received incredibly helpful support from Tracey when we did our Cremation plans. Tracey guided us through the whole process, and made it a positive customer experience. Thinking ahead about future plans isn't always easy, but we were put at ease by the friendly and helpful service we received. A relief to get our plans arranged. Would absolutely recommend Direct Cremation. A big "Thank You" to Tracey for the excellent customer care she gave us.

Brilliant service. Everything explained to the last detail. It's nice knowing that after we are gone our family has nothing to worry about. Everything will be taken care of.
