A direct cremation is a great option for families looking for a fuss-free way to say goodbye. It removes the pressure of organising a traditional funeral service, allowing you to create a more personal memorial service, should you choose, at a later date.

At Distinct Cremations, we take care of arranging the funeral and return the ashes within 14 days. This means that your family and friends can then hold the memorial service at a date and venue that suits everyone.

At Distinct Cremations, we are part of the Westerleigh Group and we have a national network of crematoria England, Wales and Scotland.

For those in Salford, we have two crematoriums within close driving distance. This includes Howe Bridge Crematorium located just 15 miles from Salford, which helps to serve those in Eccles, Stretford, Prestwich, Swinton, Urmston, Droylsden and all the surrounding areas in and around Manchester.

There's also the option of having the cremation at Vale Royal Crematorium which is situated 33 miles from Salford.

I have recently bought Cremation Plans from Distinct and can thoroughly and completely recommend the company to anyone considering purchasing a plan. From receiving my information pack to receiving my plan certificates I was given all the information I needed by fully knowledgeable & friendly staff. Nothing was too much trouble and all my questions were answered. With our plans now in place, we can forget about that which will inevitably happen at some point in the future & just get on with the joy of living. Thank you so much Distinct.

My partner Andy had paid for a unattended funeral plan. When Andy passed I contacted the company to start the proceedings. The service was absolutely amazing and I couldn't fault it. Maxine phoned me and made everything easy at a difficult time. I would highly recommend booking with Distinct Cremations. I am now considering booking mine.

Very easy and reassuring process. The staff were very helpful and answered all my questions immediately. All the documents arrived by email and are all self explanatory. Took the discounted 12 month pay off plan. Arranging a cremation plan for the future and for the peace of mind for my wife and I. I feel we are in very professional hands

We were treated with respect and consideration though the darkest of times. I honestly could not recommend Distinct Cremations any more highly. A truly respectful and dedicated team.

The service was very personal and thoughtful and the telephone conversations are on a first name basis if this is what you prefer.
