Very professional company to deal with. While the cost was less than others charge, I found the level of customer service was not reduced in any way. The respectful and courteous advice, at was was a sad time, was greatfully appreciated.

Distinct Cremations offered everything l was looking for in order for my parents to have a dignified and meaningful funeral. The cost of the plan is great value and the process of arranging it was excellent. I needed to speak to an advisor who was extremely helpful and did not pressure me with my decision to use Distinct Cremations
Jane Frances Greggains, on Feefo 4 Nov 2024
I looked for a simple cremation and went initially to the one advertised a lot. However there was something about the adverts I wasn’t keen on - as I looked through Distinct Cremation came up with Sue Cooke and I remembered the advertisement- I read through the details and felt they is was the right choice. The process was clear and simple and I was guided through very efficiently during my phone call. How good to be speaking to someone and having personal interaction. All the paperwork arrived on time as did the follow up phone call. Excellent, clear and efficient.
