Together with your closest friends and family, our Personal Cremation provides a beautiful and modest send off for your loved one.
Up to 20 people can attend a dignified and respectful 20 minute service. You can witness the committal of the coffin and take time to say goodbye in your way. You may like to have a few moments of quiet reflection or you can play a piece of music in honour of the deceased.
For those who don’t wish to have any mourners present at the cremation, we also offer an Unattended Cremation service.
Planning for the future? Our Private Cremation Plan allows you choose and pay for our attended cremation funeral in advance so that everything is sorted when the time comes.

"I talked to the people at Distinct Cremations. They told me these days many of us don’t want to spend large sums of money on an elaborate funeral."
Sue Cook, TV Presenter
Below are a selection of reviews from those who have arranged a funeral with Distinct Cremations.
We’ll keep the deceased dressed in the same clothes they were wearing when they entered our care unless otherwise requested. If you’ve got a specific outfit you’d like them to wear, just let us know and provide it prior to the cremation.
A Direct Cremation is a simple cremation without a funeral service and all the additional expenses such as flowers. However, the family can make arrangements for flowers to be delivered to the crematorium directly should they wish.
Our crematoria feature state-of-the-art downloadable music systems, allowing us to play any piece of music you want as long as it's been commercially recorded and released.
We have 40 crematoria spread across England, Scotland and Wales. You can see our full list of crematoria to find your nearest one.
The Doctor’s fees are needed to obtain cremation certificates required to carry out the service. Without them, there can be no cremation.
While we endeavour to cremate the deceased as soon as possible following the service this isn't always possible. However, the cremation is always completed with 24-hours of arrival at the crematorium. Learn more about how long after death is a cremation.
For our Personal Cremation, the services lasts for 20 minutes, where you can have a few moments of quiet reflection and can play a piece of music in honour of the deceased. For an unattended cremation there’s no service held before the cremation takes place.
There are lots of things you can do with the ashes. Many people scatter ashes in a place that was special to the deceased, some keep them in an urn as a keepsake and others have recently started to have ashes turned into jewellery or glass.
Upon arranging a funeral, once you’ve agreed the type of service that you’d like, one of our Customer Service Specialists will take the payment in full, which can be made by credit or debit card.
