I wouldn't trust any other company to look after the cremation arrangements for my nearest and dearest. They have professionally and expertly dealt with both my parents' cremation in the past year and I couldn't be more content with the amazing level of service and care we/ they received.
Jennifer Grayson, on Google 14 Sep 2024
I received the very informative booklet promptly with a follow up call to ensure I had received it. Following this I had several conversations with the friendly and helpful staff. I cannot fault the service I have received from Distinct Cremations.

Very professional from start of contact to finish . There 24/7 to answer any questions and talk through the full process could pick a song and told time of service this also took a-lot of stress of the family. at this sad time. I am going-to use this service again for myself and I have recommended to family and friends could not fault them
Nannie Debz, on Google 9 Sep 2024
They were very helpful and respectful. I couldn't find an attended funeral at that reasonable price, anywhere else. I was lost, but they helped me through everything.
