Very pleased with the service from Distinct Cremations, Tracy was very helpful, professional and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend. Not tried the service yet and fingers crossed i will not have to for many years.

Distinct Cremations were fantastic from start to finish. Kerry guided me through the process and was always available for any questions I had. She is a credit to the company. The service itself was perfect. Exactly as I planned and what my dad wanted. Distinct Cremations made a stressful and emotional time , a smooth and easy process. A great send off for my Dad at half the price of a traditional funeral.

I chose the funeral plan that included all our needs while having the option to include the music and live streaming if we wanted. Sarah was able to de-stress the whole process as much as she could.She came to my rescue when i needed it most.Nothing was too much trouble and she looked after us when we were at our lowest ebb.

The personal service I received from the outset to the end was impeccable. Everyone I dealt with was kind, caring, sympathetic and empathetic. Above and beyond. The Celebrant(bearing in mind had never met my relative) made the service feel very personal. I have nothing but high praise in the manner in which I was treated. I was in the best hands, highly recommended.

From the moment Maxine answered my call to say that Mum had passed away, I felt in the best hands. Maxine was kind and understanding and had such wonderful suggestions to help make Mums passing a beautiful event. I cannot recommend the service and most especially Maxine enough
