“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.”

- Prior to cremation, we'll place the coffin gently in the chapel accompanied by music of your choosing.
