In 2023, the average cost of a funeral was £4,141*.
But as Sue Cook said in our TV advert, "Many of us don't want to spend large sums of money on an elaborate funeral."
That's why at Distinct Cremations, we specialise in "less complicated" and "more straightforward" direct cremations.
Prices start from just £1,199 if you arrange a funeral today or £1,699 if you're looking for a funeral plan.
There are no hidden costs and no further bill to pay. It's the fuss-free, affordable way to say goodbye.
