Ken Dilley, on Feefo 8 Oct 2024
A Totally Professional Service. From the moment I advised Distinct of my wife’s passing Alice introduced herself as my contact. She was charming and sympathetic, carefully explaining all the procedures throughout the process making regular phone calls before and after each step of the way. I cannot find any criticism of the service provided from the moment we sign up to the delivery of my wife’s ashes made with due reverence at the exact time arranged. I have no hesitation in recommending Distinct Cremations, the service they provided far exceeded my expectations.
Mrs I Dixon, on Trustpilot 8 Oct 2024
After reading the brochure and all the reviews, I decided to ring up. I spoke to a friendly and polite lady who kindly answered any concerns I had, so I decided to go ahead with the arrangements. The whole process was straight forward from start to finish. Would recommend to friends and family.

We used Distinct Cremations when a local provider asked us to call back the following day as they were too busy! Distinct could not be faulted from initial contact throughout the whole procedure leading up to the cremation and beyond. We have no hesitation in recommending this company, in fact we have already spread the word to friends and family.

You can research and choose the funeral option that suits you best on our website, then give our experienced and empathetic team a call on 01543 212000. Whilst our funerals can be arranged without needing to visit any physical premises, we have a nationwide network of 40 crematoriums so can provide flexibility in where our attended cremations are held.

For example, we transport the deceased in our own private ambulances so you don't have to hire costly hearses or limousines.
