Our Simple Funeral Plan respectfully takes care of all aspects of the funeral arrangements and includes a full length funeral service led by a professional celebrant. Loved ones can come together to view the coffin, listen to music and readings in the deceased’s honour and reflect on their life.
Alternatively, we offer Small Attended Cremation Plans for those who would like a more intimate send-off with fewer attendees or our Unattended Direct Cremation Plan for a service with no attendees present.
All of our low cost funeral plans, including our Simple Funeral Plan, guarantee a modest and affordable send off without you having to pay for unnecessary extras.
For full details of what is and is not covered, please read our funeral plan summary and terms and conditions.
For additional pricing information and a full list of our optional extras, please see our price list.

Once you've chosen one of our simple funeral plans, here's what to expect.
For peace of mind, you will receive a plan confirmation pack to store safely so you can focus on enjoying your life.
When the time comes, we help your family arrange the service, celebrant and necessary paperwork.
The ashes can either be scattered at the crematorium or personally returned by our team within 14 days of cremation.
We keep your money safe in a trust fund or "whole of life" policy from regulated provider Scottish Friendly.
After the funeral attended by your loved ones has taken place, we carry out the cremation with care and dignity.
Below are a selection of reviews from those who have purchased a funeral through Distinct Cremations.
You’ll typically receive your documents within five working days of taking out the plan.
The cremation service will take place Monday to Friday during working hours.
When the time comes, our compassionate team will liaise between the person arranging the funeral and the chosen crematorium to find a suitable date and time.
For plans payable over 5 or 10 years we incur additional administration expenses for collecting the monthly instalments and for the purchase and administration of a “whole of life” policy from Scottish Friendly - an authorised and regulated insurance provider. If you die after 12 months of the start of your funeral plan, but before you have paid all your instalments, there is nothing more to pay.
We provide a simple light oak style coffin.
This can be upgraded to an environmentally friendly coffin made using recycled and recovered wood as part of our Go Greener add on.
All of our ashes are returned in a simple biodegradable container which can be upgraded to a wooden urn for an additional cost.
Attendee numbers for our Simple Funeral Plan are not restricted.
Our Customer Service Specialists can give you information about the exact seating and standing capacity of the chapel at your chosen crematorium. For especially large groups of mourners, many of our crematoriums also offer external viewing screens.
We will provide a qualified celebrant or officiant from our approved network to conduct the funeral service. The celebrant cost is included as part of our Simple Funeral Plan.
If the person arranging the funeral would like a specific celebrant, we might be able to cover the cost of this too, but there may be additional fees to pay directly to the celebrant if they are not part of our network.
At Distinct Cremations, we offer both unattended and attended funeral plans delivered with dignity and care.
Our funeral plans include every aspect of the cremation arrangements so when the time comes there will be nothing more for your family to pay. We deliver all of the services ourselves including transport, care at our mortuary, cremation at one of our crematoriums and the return of the ashes. Our caring team is there to offer support throughout with both paperwork and making the arrangements.
You can see how we compare to other funeral providers in the market with our comparison table.
Our knowledgeable team will assist with all of the essential funeral arrangements. The cremation itself, transport of the deceased, support filling out the required paperwork and arrangments for the funeral service are all included in the price of the plan.
We can also offer additional services at the time of need like printed service stationery. However, these additional services are not included in the Simple Funeral Plan price.
A funeral plan lets you choose and pay for a funeral ahead of time. Planning your own funeral protects your family from funeral costs and ensures your wishes are known for the type of funeral you'd like. If you're going to be the one making funeral arrangements for someone else in future, you can also take out a funeral plan for them for peace of mind.
When the time comes we'll carry out every part of the process and deliver the ashes to your family at no extra cost. Our funeral plans include cremation, fees, collection, care, return of the ashes and much more. For full details of what is and is not covered with our different funeral plan options, please read our funeral plan summary and terms & conditions.
