With Distinct Cremations, all our services are carried out with dignity and respect, whether your loved one is having an attended or unattended funeral. Below is a step-by-step process of exactly what happens with a video showing what a cremation with Distinct Cremations looks like.

Transporting the deceased to the crematorium

On the day of the cremation, our experienced funeral team will transport your loved one from our mortuary facilities in Cannock to the crematorium in a private ambulance.

Your loved one is escorted through the front door

Once at the crematorium, the coffin will be carried through the main entrance of the crematorium and laid to rest on the catafalque beside a photo of your loved one, if you wish. Our team will respectfully bow, step back and allow the service to take place.

The Service - Unattended Cremation

With our unattended cremation, you can have a piece of music played for the deceased before the cremation takes place or you can allow a moment of silence to be observed. You can also have the service recorded if you wish.

The Service - Attended Cremation

Our attended cremation differs slightly, but it all depends on how you want to personalise the service. Once the service begins, you may want to play a piece of music or deliver a eulogy. We also can play a slide show of images on a large screen. You have the freedom to arrange the service however you'd like.

The curtain is pulled across and cremation takes place

After the short service, the curtain is drawn in front of the coffin and the cremation will take place. Within 14 days of the cremation, the ashes will be hand-delivered to your family.

Below are a selection of reviews from those who have purchased a funeral through Distinct Cremations.

I was very happy with the service I received and they are only a phone call away if I or my sons should need advice or help in any way
This is a good company, the cremation was dealt with very smoothly without any problems. The staff were very courteous and professional throughout. Everything was explained over the phone and they were very patient answering my questions. The ashes were delivered on time to my door. Highly recommended.
They gave a superb service, they were very professional from start to finish, but also friendly and empathetic too, at what was a very difficult time for myself and the family
Dee was lovely and understanding and advice was easy to understand
Very kind and helpful lady. She talked me through everything that I asked her about.
From the very first phone call I felt things were going to be handled well. Kindness compassion and helpful ness were shown throughout. I was kept informed about all the details and the person delivering the ashes was so respectful and kind taking the time to ask about my husbands life. This is who will handle my cremation.
Received excellent service from Distinct Cremations. The passing of my stepfather was very distressing and emotional time for my family. David at DC kept us up to date with the arrangements, and talked us through each step of the plan, and kept the admin to a minimum. The cost of the Direct cremation was as advertised, which I found to be good value. Thank you everyone at DC.
Excellent service. Professional but still friendly considering the subject being discussed can be awkward for some people.
