Direct Cremations were absolutely wonderful. Very very professional and completely sympathetic. Nothing was too much for them. Kerri was a pleasure to deal with and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Paula Dunn, on Feefo 15 May 2026
Distinct cremations was a very respectful company. I had a Lady called Alison taking care of me , Alice went through every step of the cremation details from beginning to end , she was wonderful thank you very much Alice. I even got a call today from Alice today the day after my partners ashes were brought back to me to see how I was. I would recommend Distinct Cremations to anybody. Thank you .

From start to finish I was shown curtesy, care , compassion and the utmost respect for my relative . I was kept informed every step of the way and I knew my relative was in very good hands . Everything was dealt with in a professional way , from the original booking right to the lovely follow up call afterwards . I have already recommended Distinct Cremations to several people as I was so impressed with the level of service . Thankyou for making the whole process so special and stress free .

We recently used Distinct Cremation when my much loved dear Wife/Mother/Grandmother and Great grandmother passed away , One phone call to them is all that was needed, They then looked after every thing that need's to be done at a very stressful time for the family, They were 100% Professional.

Happy with product and price/cost. Would have put 5 stars but like insurance only as good as the final outcome. No pressure selling clear product description.
