Distinct cremation. What can I say. Unbelievable service very comfortable talking to someone regarding your passing. It's not something ppl like to discuss. But they made the whole thing manageable thank you Distinct cremation.
Jayne B, on Trustpilot 1 Feb 2025
Excellent Company had a fantastic lady Yasmin who helped and advised me through the process . The whole process from calling not long after my father in law passed away( no plan in place) and I had no clue what I was doing, Yasmin was excellent and made the stress go away. I would highly recommend this

Excellent service from start to finish. Good communications and assistance.
Toni Stevens, on Google 22 Jan 2025
During this difficult time the staff at Distinct Cremations have been exemplary. They provided an immediate considerate service, kept me well updated at every point. I had a problem with the doctor’s certificate and they even contacted the surgery on my behalf multiple times to resolve the issue. The ashes were returned promptly with lots of notice by a member of their own team. Honestly I can’t recommend them enough, they served my dad with dignity. Then unfortunately only a few months later they help me arrange my mums cremation, going back to the same company speaks volumes and Maxine helped me through every step.
