Read our reviews
“Distinct Cremations dealt with all aspects of mum's funeral and cremation in a dignified and respectful way. They treated us with kindness and compassion, and kept us informed about what would happen when. They clearly explained to us the options and choices available to us, and we never felt pressured or obligated in any way. Mum's wedding ring and her ashes were safely returned to us, with the lady returning mum's ashes arriving at exactly the time she said she would. My brother and I are glad we chose Distinct Cremations to take care of mum's cremation.”
