Very informative helpful staff it has taken us a few months to consider a funeral plan and now feel that we have chosen wisely.

As I'm not dead yet I don't know how it will go. I had good service when I book it. Everything was so easy. Maybe when I have tried the server I will give a new review.

VERY EASY AND VERY POLITE PEOPLE

Mary Louise Henson, on Feefo 8 Dec 2024

We would recommend to use this company, so easy to do and no stress. They talk you through everything and always happy to go the extra mile for you. Kerry was amazing, she kept in regular contact and make the whole progress less stressful. On the day it was perfect everything we had asked for.

Nothing too much trouble when answering questions about my plan over the phone, really helpful.

Belinda Jane Baker, on Feefo 4 Dec 2024

Distinct Cremations were friendly, compassionate and easy to talk to from the very first phone call. Maxine and Dan made the whole experience less traumatic for me and helped me every step of the way with such empathy and great communication, Maxine was so warm, welcoming and really was my safety net throughout the whole experience of cremating my lovely father. I will be using this service again because of the level of care and attention and because it was so important to me to be led each step of the way and be truly supported by their staff. The staff really do go above and beyond with such compassion and I will always be grateful to them for holding space and allowing me to feel my emotions throughout the whole experience.

The help and support that I received from Grace was amazing , she was so kind and kept me informed throughout .

Andy Rudd, on Google 2 Dec 2024

From the moment my Dad passed away, the communication and arrangements where first class. Everything was handled with the utmost professionalism. I would personally like to thank Maxine for her kindness and assistance, she certainly made the sad process far more easier to manage than it maybe would have been. I have no hesitation in recommending the services that Distinct Cremations provide.
