“Distinct Cremations dealt with all aspects of mum's funeral and cremation in a dignified and respectful way. They treated us with kindness and compassion, and kept us informed about what would happen when. They clearly explained to us the options and choices available to us, and we never felt pressured or obligated in any way. Mum's wedding ring and her ashes were safely returned to us, with the lady returning mum's ashes arriving at exactly the time she said she would. My brother and I are glad we chose Distinct Cremations to take care of mum's cremation.”

It’s okay if a traditional funeral isn’t right for you or your loved one. A direct cremation offers a simpler, more cost-effective alternative.
- The cremation takes place unattended. Be assured our team will give your loved one the care and attention you’d expect.
- From the coffin to transport and the cremation itself, everything required for the cremation is included.
- Before the cremation, our team will place the coffin in the chapel with a piece of music chosen by the family.
- The ashes can be swiftly returned to the family or scattered in our peaceful grounds.
As well as lower costs, a direct cremation offers the flexibility to hold a memorial at a location that holds more meaning for you.
