From the time my partner passed away till after the cremation I was kept up to date with everything that was going on. Everyone was very helpful and thanks once again.
Lisa Milne Henderson, on Feefo 7 Dec 2025
Both my parents died within the last 2 years, and I used Direct Cremations' services for each, helped with utmost kindness by Maxine. Communication throughout was excellent and sensitive, I thought price was reasonable, and the delivery of the ashes was carried out with dignity. I found the virtual memorial service we were able to take up for my mother extremely moving, and only wish it had been able to be offered when my father passed, but it is a lovely addition to the range of services offered. I'm very glad I happened upon Distinct Cremations.

Was very supportive through out everything and if i need the suppirt its great to hear that even after the cremation of my loved one is that i am still able to contact them afterwards and they did a great service and looked after my loved one through out every step so thankyou very much
Craig Walker, on Feefo 5 Dec 2025
My mother decided she wanted a simple cremation after her death to lesson the burden placed upon me, as my brother and father had already passed away. She chose Distinct Cremations & paid for her funeral when she was alive and well. My mum sadly passed away recently & I was left to deal with all the associated responsibilities which understandably proved upsetting & emotionally stressful. The only thing that provided some comfort was the professional & sympathetic way that Distinct Cremations handled my mother’s funeral. A lovely lady by the name of Sarah Miller personally oversaw every detail needed for my mum’s final wishes & it was a pleasure speaking with Sarah at a time of great sadness. I can’t recommend any higher than that of District Cremations, with the dignity & understanding provided by them at a time when it is truly needed. RIP mum x

Absolutely amazing from start to finish at the most difficult time for our family. Maxine is an absolute credit to the company and nothing was too much trouble.
