A cremation without mourners present suits those who'd like to minimise funeral costs, avoid the confines of tradition or keep the send-off as straightforward as possible. Choose a no-fuss cremation conducted with the utmost professionalism.
Our no fuss funerals start at £1,350 for a direct cremation without mourners or a service. Attended cremations begin at £1,950 where you can choose between a 30 or 60 minute service. Prices vary based on the service options you choose.
All of the services included in each Distinct Cremations plan are guaranteed. This means no matter how much prices rise in future, your chosen funeral will go ahead with nothing more for your loved ones to pay.
Some of Golden Charter’s funeral plans include an allowance towards third-party costs, which could mean your family has to pay extra when the funeral is needed.
Distinct Cremations offer a wider choice of funeral services with fewer restrictions.
Simplicity Cremations' funeral service plan includes a 20-minute family-led service limited to 25 family members or friends.
Our attended funerals offer a choice of a 30- or 60-minute service at the crematorium, which can be either family-led or led by a professional celebrant with no limits on the number of loved ones who can attend.
Our dedicated funeral arrangers can help the person organising the funeral personalise it with flowers, order of service stationery, music and visual tributes.
There’s no limit on how many people can attend a wake, only as many as the organiser and venue are comfortable with.
Our Unattended Direct Cremation Plan has received the top rating of 5 stars by the experts at Fairer Finance, a leading independent reviewer of consumer finance.
The FSCS is an independent service set up by the UK government to protect consumers when a financial firm fails. For example, if Distinct Cremations were to go out of business, the FSCS will protect every person who has taken out a plan with Distinct Cremations and provide them with a choice of a replacement funeral plan from a regulated provider or cash compensation.
Different people can register a death including a relative, a friend, an official from the hospital where the death occurred, the owner or staff in a care home or someone who was present at the death.
