Bereavement Support FAQs

From the moment Maxine answered my call to say that Mum had passed away, I felt in the best hands. Maxine was kind and understanding and had such wonderful suggestions to help make Mums passing a beautiful event. I cannot recommend the service and most especially Maxine enough

Very professional and empathic. Communication excellent.

Excellent service throughout. Distinct Kept me informed of the proceedings and very, Very, supportive through the whole process. I would highly recommend Distinct Cremations. Maxine is a treasure to Distinct and helped and supported Me through everything. Gary A.

Planning my funeral had been on my mind for a while but I'd just felt so sad about it and scared of how I would feel actually planning it. I had a wonderful kind and caring member of your staff. Sarah Jordan has been so wonderfully sensitive and really helped with how I felt. She is warm caring and her communication skills are brilliant. She turned what i was expecting to be a quite sombre call into a really nice relaxed conversation and amazing help with respect and understanding. I think you are lucky having such lovely staff. I will be recommending your company to everyone I talk to. It's simple, no jargon. Good advice and Sarah made me feel more comfortable and she put my mind at ease. I'm just happy she is my communication through this. I can't praise her enough but planning this has been so much easier.

A simple and relatively inexpensive option that gave us what we needed along with the option of more additions should we change our minds.

Totally lovely and personal service right from start to finish A special mention of Sarah who really puts you at ease and explains the whole process . Highly recommend .

I was nervous about an unattanded cremation but there was no need. From the time my husband passed away to after the delivery of his ashes to me in time for Christmas everything was handled with so much kindness and compassion and quiet efficiency. I was reticent about not seeing him laid out but I had valuable and more meaningful time with him at home before he was collected. The Funeral Directors who collected him were amazing, affording my husband the care and dignity he deserved, and making sure they knew what I wanted for him. They even asked if I would like to walk in front of the vehicle with one of them which was a lovely touch. I have my own unattended cemation plan and now I have experienced this I feel reassured that when the time comes my family will be looked after. Thank you Distinct Cremations.

They’re absolutely amazing so helpful and supportive all the way along, I recently lost my dad and he chose this sort of cremation. Nothing is too much trouble for them. My dad was cremated in Essex and they brought his ashes all the way to Wales. Maxine, the lady who was supporting me was just one in 1 million always there to listen always there to help. A big thank you to all of you, Tracy.**
