Spoke to Kerry all thorough the organization of the funeral and she was so helpful and friendly, made the whole process so easy. Many thanks and would definitely recommend to anyone else 5 *****

Would thoroughly recommend Direct Cremation.I bought a plan for my dad and when he passed a few weeks ago I was worried about what would happen to him but Kerry who I can't praise enough from Direct Cremation supported me and explained what would happen every step of the way,reassuring me my dad would be looked after whilst in their care.Her empathy and understanding were simply amazing.She is definitely in the right role and helped ease the pain of my loss more than she will ever know. I felt that I was involved in dad's cremation even though I had handed it over to them.She even called once dad's ashes were returned to check all was ok. Would absolutely choose Direct Cremation again.

Kind, thoughtful and patient funeral arranger. They gently guided me through the process and options. Then kept in touch as we as a family discussed and chose how we wanted the service to be. They kept me aware of where my much loved one was which was comforting at such a confusing time. And also at what happens afterwards. Very highly rated.

I cannot recommend this company more highly - if I could give 10 stars I would . Professional, kind, caring , friendly and exceptionally well organised from the beginning to the end . Kerry & Maxine were just amazing ,felt more like friends than organisers. They helped me through a very difficult time when I felt totally alone . If anyone reading this review is thinking of taking a plan out with them, you won’t regret it they are, in my eyes, The best . Thank you SO very very much. Siân X

Sarah Miller was the lady who helped me through my brothers passing and she was outstanding from start to finish, with daily calls to see how i was doing and answering all my questions. Distinct Cremations did an amazing job, my brother had a proper funeral service and they even brought my brothers ashes back to my door in a lovely tube with a dove on which i had chosen and even some of his ashes in a cuddle stone for me to keep always. thank you Sarah and everyone who as taken part in my brother funeral, Amazing, thank you.

Recently took out 2 funeral plans for myself and my wife. After doing research with a number of different companies we decided on Distinct Cremation. We feel we made the right choice after speaking to Tracey. She was very professional kind and patient. She explained everything to us and answered all our questions. Follow up phone call from Tracey today to check we had received all the paperwork and that we were happy with everything that had been arranged. We would highly recommend Distinct Cremation for a first class service.

Excellent service from distinct cremation from the initial contact continuing until after the service. I mainly dealt with Kerry who was very professional,kind and considerate. Any questions or queries were fully explained or dealt with. The actual service was just what we wanted and in a lovely setting. A truly five star service, thank you.
