What is a Direct Cremation?

Choosing a direct cremation instead of a traditional funeral lets you celebrate a loved one's life however you wish, rather than being bound by tradition or debt.

  • The cremation is usually unattended, without any mourners present.
  • Friends and family often instead have a celebration or wake at a time and place that suits them, when they are ready.
  • On average, it's over 71% cheaper ** than a traditional funeral.

At Distinct Cremations, we specialise in Direct Cremations, an affordable alternative to a traditional funeral, without any compromises.

** 71% saving is based on the cost of a basic funeral at £4,141 (SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2024, sunlife.co.uk/ funeral-costs) vs the cost of a Distinct Cremations direct cremation at £1,199

"Treated very kindly and sympathetically while sorting out a funeral.

It's not a nice thing to have to do, but lots of support was given. The whole thing was easy to sort and even good value for money"

Excellent service throughout.
