Absolutely fantastic service and would highly recommend. My dad had prepaid for his funeral, so we were not sure what to expect. From start to finish they were amazing. They organised everything and the family cannot thank them enough!!

Our mind was put at rest almost immediately. Special mention must be made for Sarah who guided us through every step. If I may say so Distinct Cremations are extremely lucky to have such a compassionate employee to represent them in peoples most difficult times. Overall I cannot recommend Ditinct Cremations highly enough. Thank you all . Mark & Sue Cox.**

Spoke to Kerry all thorough the organization of the funeral and she was so helpful and friendly, made the whole process so easy. Many thanks and would definitely recommend to anyone else 5 *****

Would thoroughly recommend Direct Cremation.I bought a plan for my dad and when he passed a few weeks ago I was worried about what would happen to him but Kerry who I can't praise enough from Direct Cremation supported me and explained what would happen every step of the way,reassuring me my dad would be looked after whilst in their care.Her empathy and understanding were simply amazing.She is definitely in the right role and helped ease the pain of my loss more than she will ever know. I felt that I was involved in dad's cremation even though I had handed it over to them.She even called once dad's ashes were returned to check all was ok. Would absolutely choose Direct Cremation again.

Kind, thoughtful and patient funeral arranger. They gently guided me through the process and options. Then kept in touch as we as a family discussed and chose how we wanted the service to be. They kept me aware of where my much loved one was which was comforting at such a confusing time. And also at what happens afterwards. Very highly rated.

I cannot recommend this company more highly - if I could give 10 stars I would . Professional, kind, caring , friendly and exceptionally well organised from the beginning to the end . Kerry & Maxine were just amazing ,felt more like friends than organisers. They helped me through a very difficult time when I felt totally alone . If anyone reading this review is thinking of taking a plan out with them, you won’t regret it they are, in my eyes, The best . Thank you SO very very much. Siân X
