It was such a simple process from start to finish and our allocated assistant - Maxine - bent over backwards to make sure we were happy. The communication was great, the staff were so respectful and we felt relaxed the whole time knowing our loved one was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Distinct Cremations and will be organising our own cremation plan with them in the future.

I highly recommend Distinct Cremations. Kerry was exceptional from start to finish, showing immense kindness, care, and understanding during one of our darkest times. She explained everything clearly and provided essential help and guidance, ensuring our wishes were met throughout. Kerry also checked in on us, which meant a great deal. My brother was treated with the utmost dignity and respect, which was incredibly important to us. We are also grateful to Paul for his kindness and respect. Thank you to everyone at Distinct Cremations.
