A direct cremation is a simple affair, free of a service, procession and ceremony, with little fuss and little stress. At Distinct Cremations, we offer two options for you. A direct cremation which is unattended and a private cremation where up to 20 mourners can attend.
As we are part of the Westerleigh Group, the cremations will take place at one of 37 crematoriums we have across England, Wales and Scotland. This includes Charing Crematorium located 22 miles from Chatham, which helps to serve those in Strood, Chattenden, Cuxton, High Halstow, Wouldham, Cliffe and all the surrounding areas in Medway and Kent.
There's also the option of having the cremation at Barham Crematorium which is situated 35 miles from Chatham.
