I found Distinct Cremations very helpful to me during my recent bereavement. Nothing was too much to ask, and the ashes were delivered to me as per my request. My grateful thanks to their staff, especially Maxine for your personal care shown to my partner Lorraine.

My father had arranged in advance for this service so we knew all was as he wished it to be. What took me by surprise was just how kind and caring it was. To have one person to contact ( thank you Maxine) who checked and advised all along was wonderful and made the whole process less upsetting. I felt that Dad's remains were treated with respect and we were supported throughout. We have received his ashes and will go on to make our own arrangements with those. Excellent service. Thank you to Maxine and team

So glad we went with Distinct Cremations for my Mother’s funeral. Sarah and her colleagues were so caring and kind and professional. I felt very well looked after from start to finish. I would not hesitate to recommend them or use them again in the future. We were able to give Mum a perfect service at an affordable cost.
