Yes – many wakes are now held after the funeral has taken place, allowing people to come together to celebrate the life of the deceased.

There can occasionally be restrictions on scattering ashes in certain locations. If you’ve got a specific location in mind, it’s best to speak to someone associated with that destination before making your decision.

There’s no limit on how many people can attend a wake, only as many as the organiser and venue are comfortable with.

Everyone at Distinct Cremations was absolutely lovely to speak to and communicate with. I have to give special mention to Grace, who was my main point of contact and was just so helpful and kind. The service went without a hitch and the New Forest crematorium was lovely and the staff there brilliant as well.
