Bereavement Support FAQs

From the time my partner passed away till after the cremation I was kept up to date with everything that was going on. Everyone was very helpful and thanks once again.

Both my parents died within the last 2 years, and I used Direct Cremations' services for each, helped with utmost kindness by Maxine. Communication throughout was excellent and sensitive, I thought price was reasonable, and the delivery of the ashes was carried out with dignity. I found the virtual memorial service we were able to take up for my mother extremely moving, and only wish it had been able to be offered when my father passed, but it is a lovely addition to the range of services offered. I'm very glad I happened upon Distinct Cremations.

My mother decided she wanted a simple cremation after her death to lesson the burden placed upon me, as my brother and father had already passed away. She chose Distinct Cremations & paid for her funeral when she was alive and well. My mum sadly passed away recently & I was left to deal with all the associated responsibilities which understandably proved upsetting & emotionally stressful. The only thing that provided some comfort was the professional & sympathetic way that Distinct Cremations handled my mother’s funeral. A lovely lady by the name of Sarah Miller personally oversaw every detail needed for my mum’s final wishes & it was a pleasure speaking with Sarah at a time of great sadness. I can’t recommend any higher than that of District Cremations, with the dignity & understanding provided by them at a time when it is truly needed. RIP mum x

Was very supportive through out everything and if i need the suppirt its great to hear that even after the cremation of my loved one is that i am still able to contact them afterwards and they did a great service and looked after my loved one through out every step so thankyou very much

Absolutely amazing from start to finish at the most difficult time for our family. Maxine is an absolute credit to the company and nothing was too much trouble.

The person I spoke to was kind and considerate, she answered my questions clearly and appropriately, the follow-up phone calls were also conducted with care, friendliness and understanding, I am so pleased I chose this service.

I bought plans for myself and my husband three years ago. The company was very professional, helpful and efficient in setting these up. Sadly, my husband died in October. Distinct Cremations have been wonderful. I have dealt with the same person, Kerry, throughout and she has been so kind and caring. She informed me of all the legal processes and then ensured I got exactly the funeral I wanted for my husband. She has been so thoughtful, considerate and professional. I was nervous initially going down the route of a direct cremation as my other relatives have had more traditional funerals. But I needn’t have worried. As soon as I spoke to Kerry I felt reassured. This was perfect for our requirements and just my son and I are going to scatter his ashes later in a small private celebration of his life. I highly recommend Distinct if you are looking for a direct, no fuss, cremation. I believe they’re the best in the business.

Excellent service very respects caring staff from start to finish. Thank you.
