Yes – many wakes are now held after the funeral has taken place, allowing people to come together to celebrate the life of the deceased.

There can occasionally be restrictions on scattering ashes in certain locations. If you’ve got a specific location in mind, it’s best to speak to someone associated with that destination before making your decision.

There’s no limit on how many people can attend a wake, only as many as the organiser and venue are comfortable with.

A wake is a social gathering that takes place either before or after a funeral.

Very easy to set up a funeral plan on line. All the information was very easy to understand and prices very reasonable, so pleased with everything my husband decided to purchase a plan as well

We received incredibly helpful support from Tracey when we did our Cremation plans. Tracey guided us through the whole process, and made it a positive customer experience. Thinking ahead about future plans isn't always easy, but we were put at ease by the friendly and helpful service we received. A relief to get our plans arranged. Would absolutely recommend Direct Cremation. A big "Thank You" to Tracey for the excellent customer care she gave us.

My Mam had purchased an unattended cremation plan and I had to deal with Distinct Cremations as her daughter and next of kin. They provided an excellent service, kept me informed at every stage. They were very compassionate and understanding at this challenging time and always offered any support I may have needed. The people I had contact with over the phone and the people who delivered Mams ashes back to me were very professional.

Distinct Cremation provided a flawless service for my late mother’s cremation, handled with kindness and sensitivity. They made the whole process so easy at what was a difficult and sad time for the family. My mother would have been so pleased to know the decision she made to use Distinct Cremation was a very good one.
