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 funeral service where up to 20 mourners can attend.

As we are part of the Westerleigh Group, the cremations will take place at one of 41 crematoriums we have across England, Wales and Scotland. This includes Howe Bridge Crematorium located just 13 miles from St Helens, which helps to serve those in Saughall, Mollington, Mickle Trafford, Dodleston, Great Barrow, Tarvin and all the surrounding areas in and around Chester.

There's also the option of having the cremation at West Lancashire Cemetery & Crematorium and Vale Royal Crematorium which are situated 14 miles and 26 miles respectively from St Helens.

Arranging a direct cremation with Distinct is straight forward and our customer service specialists are available 24/7 for your questions on 01543 211997.

I cannot thank you enough for the care you took of my dad and the consideration you gave to our family. My dad passed suddenly and you helped us through the most difficult of times liaising with the various different agencies. We are so incredibly grateful. Dad was given dignity and we were treated with respect and compassion. Thank you so much.

Excellent service, very professional and understanding. Explained everything and advised on the best options for my family. Would recommend. We chose a basic cremation as my husband wasnt religious and it was very respectful.

The team at Distinct Cremations were incredible during such a difficult time for me. Grace looked after me through the whole process with expert knowledge, guidance and comforting support. She provided me with a celebrant who helped me with organising the service and he too looked after me with such kindness and compassion, giving me the confidence to help arrange a service that gave my husband a dignified send off full of warmth and love. I can't praise Distinct Cremations enough. And even after the funeral, Grace is still ringing me to make sure I'm ok

The service we received from the beginning of this journey for our family, to receiving our dad's ashes was nothing but exemplary. Dad wanted a direct cremation with no fuss, just a celebration of life with his fanily. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Very pleased to recommend this company. A difficult subject was made much easier to organise with the help of a very caring lady via a phone call. Within 30 minutes everything was arranged for my husband and I and the funeral plans arrived in the post a few days later. A follow up call a week later was also welcome , just to check all was correct in the plan.

Excellent customer service. A couple of weeks ago I arranged mine and my husband's cremations with Distinct Cremations. It was a very easy process to do. A young lady called Leah, led my through the process with reasssurance, kindness and professionalism. All of my questions were answered fully, everything explained in detail and all of my requests were met. 10 days later I received a phone call to make sure the paper work had arrived, that everything was correct and to check if I had any further questions. Exemplary customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend Distinct Cremations to anyone wanting to plan their funerals at a very reasonable cost.
