I had been thinking of planning my funeral for a while but couldn't afford it. I'd seen an advert for distinct cremations and went for it, I applied online (so easy to do) and spread the cost over 5 years. So now my family doesn't have to plan anything or find silly amounts of money. Best thing I've done in a few years. Thank you distinct cremations.

Our funeral arrangements were handled with professionalism and compassion by Tracy. Everything was fully explained which made the whole process of a delicate subject easy to handle. Thank you!

The contact at the centre Maxine was very nice and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. The delivery of David's ashes was in keeping with the service.

The service received by Distinct Cremations was absolutely exceptional. I was completely blown away by the care, support and compassion provided by the company and in particular Sarah Miller who looked after me from the very first phone call after we advised them dad had died. She was such a glimmer of light at a very dark time which I shall be forever grateful for. Sarah kept in regular contact and her kind and gentle approach made the process so pressure free that I hardly felt like we were organising a cremation service (which was seamless and beautiful, the location was perfect and the local third party funeral directors that Distinct Cremations used were second to none) The addition of a wonderful celebrant and a photo tribute to dad’s original plan was worth every extra penny. It’s actually very hard to put into words how I feel about Distinct Cremations but during his life my dad was always so thrilled by excellent customer service and he certainly saved the best for last.

Although it came as a bit of a shock to find out our mum had a plan through Distinct Cremations, I can now understand why they took this plan out. Everything was handled with a profession manner and in a sensitive way, the staff were extremally helpful and always available to answer any questions we had. Although you don't get to have a crematorium service, we have family who live abroad, and getting everybody to attend at the same time would have proved very difficult. So, we waited for the ashes to be returned and arranged a wake at a time that suited the vast majority of the family. The fact that two of my siblings are now considering this type of arrangement speaks volumes. Distinct Cremations was a positive experience for our family.

Using Distinct Cremations for my Husband's service was the best thing we could have done. We were given their undivided attention, including a visit to discuss the service itself. The environment was lovely calm and relaxed and the service was beautiful. My husband would have been proud, as everything was spot on. Thank you particularly to Maxine, and Fiona the Celebrant.

Distinct Crematoriums from start to finish were so helpful, always kept us updated and made everything run smoothly for us and the service was beautiful for our Sister & Auntie. We just want to say a special thank you to Kerry who dealt with us, your a credit to the company.
