Arranging a funeral doesn't have to be an overwhelming experience. At Distinct Cremations, we focus on making things as stress-free as possible whether you're looking to arrange a funeral today or you're planning for the future.

Our services

At Distinct Cremations, we offer two different types of services:

  • Arrange a funeral today: This is purchased when someone dies or can be purchased when a person is receiving end of life care. The price to arrange a funeral today starts at £1,199. This service is slightly cheaper than a funeral plan to keep the price as low as possible, but isn't inclusive of some additional charges which may apply.
  • A funeral plan: This is purchased before someone dies and can also be purchased when a person is receiving end of life care. This can be purchased for yourself or on behalf of someone else. The price of a funeral plan starts at £1,699. The reason why this is more expensive is because the funeral plan is inclusive of all additional charges so your family don't have any bills to pay when the time comes.

Below we look at both services, inclusions and additional charges in more detail.

Arrange a funeral when the time comes or plan ahead?

With Distinct Cremations, you're able to pay for a funeral when the time comes, or you can plan ahead for yourself or a loved one by getting a funeral plan. Below is some detail on what to expect from the two different options.

Arranging a funeral when needed

Laptop For Researching Funeral Plans On Table

This is the option to take when there no funeral plan is in place.

The funeral can either be arranged at the time of death or when a loved one is receiving end of life care.

The family will need to make a call to arrange a funeral, some details will be collected, and from here our team will begin organising the service from collection to the personal delivery of the ashes.

  • Prices start from £1,199
  • Additional fees including doctor's fee, collection outside of office hours and non-hospital collection may apply

Benefits...

  • Today's price is cheaper than a plan
  • If funeral prices fall the family will pay even less

Things to consider...

  • If prices rise, the family may pay more than a funeral plan
  • Funeral organisation will need to be made at a difficult time

Friendly, pulite and simply SUPER
Nikki 10 Jul 2024
There was nothing too difficult or no question too silly. Every care was taken with all the arrangements and I was kept up to date at all times. I sent through items which were quickly handled and was notified of their receipt and the actions made with them. Even changing things was never too much of a problem.

Anon 2 May 2024
Service very efficient, and comprehensive. Understandably, you "chased me up" when there was a delay in my response to place an order, but this delay was whilst I contacted all those relatives who might have had a view to express.
