From the day that Dad passed away and we contacted Distinct Cremations I cannot fault their service at a very difficult time. From the first phone call everything has been so professional and sensitively dealt with thanks to the wonderful Kerry Ludlow who has guided us through every step of the way right up to a beautiful send off at the crematorium on Friday. I cannot praise them enough, thank you so much Distinct Cremations, and for a no frills, affordable funeral you are simply the best.
David John Smith, on Feefo 23 Aug 2025
Throughout the difficult process of coming to terms with the passing of my Mum, Distinct has been there for me from the beginning to the end of the process showing compassion and empathy. I cannot fault the level of care and assistance that they provided at all times and kept in contact regularly always with a kind word. I would highly recommend Distinct to anyone.

Distinct Cremations were absolutely wonderful, when my loved one passed. My loved one was treated with the utmost dignity and respect. From start to finish they communicated with me on the whole process, whilst also checking the family were OK. Sarah Miller and the rest of the team were so kind right to the end, and after my loved ones ashes were returned to us by Sophie, who showed us so much kindness, at a very sad time. Thank you all for everything you helped me and my family with.

After researching various companies I recently decided to sign up with Distinct Cremations for a payment plan for myself and am very satisfied with my choice. Communication and information was excellent and the staff I spoke with on more than one occasion were very polite, courteous and professional, answering all my questions. (P.S. Not to be confused with another company of a similar sounding name!)

Both my parents had plans with Distinct Cremations and both have now died. In both instances the service I received was considerate, prompt and made things as simple as possible. I was talked through the necessary paperwork, which involved the coroner in one instance, and was kept fully informed throughout the entire process up to and after the cremation. A plan with Distinct Cremations took away a lot of admin and decision making and I would recommend them wholeheartedly.
