Frequently asked questions - page 5

Many people struggle to afford a funeral because of the rising funeral costs. If you’re arranging the funeral of a loved one and you think you can’t afford it, check if you’re eligible for Government assistance via a Funeral Expenses Payment in England & Wales or check your eligibility and apply for a Funeral Support Payment in Scotland.

With Distinct Cremations, it will take approximately 2-4 weeks to arrange the funeral. This includes the completion of the necessary paperwork and the cremation itself. Once the cremation has taken place, the ashes can be scattered in the crematorium garden of remembrance or personally returned by our team within 14 days.

Everyone at Distinct Cremations was absolutely lovely to speak to and communicate with. I have to give special mention to Grace, who was my main point of contact and was just so helpful and kind. The service went without a hitch and the New Forest crematorium was lovely and the staff there brilliant as well.
