"I spoke to Jacque, who guided me through the process. Very helpful and considerate service at all times. She gave all the facts and details for the plan we chose - no hidden extras - and was able to offer the best local crematorium for the family. Distinct Cremations were truly the best option for price and approachability.”

Canterbury direct cremation
If a traditional funeral service isn't the best fit for you or your loved one, a direct cremation in Canterbury could provide a simpler and more cost-effective option. This unattended service still includes the same care and consideration you’d expect from our experienced professionals.
- Everything needed for a respectful service is included, from the classic wood coffin to transport and the cremation itself.
- Ahead of the cremation, the coffin is placed in the chapel, accompanied by music chosen by the family.
- Ashes can be returned to the family or scattered in our peaceful memorial garden at Barham Crematorium.
A Canterbury direct cremation offers a more affordable alternative, with the flexibility to hold a separate memorial at a location that is more meaningful for your family at a later date.
