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.

After losing 2 of my sisters recently it made me think about my own future and sorting out my funeral for when the time comes, as I did not want my children to have to arrange things in an already stressful time for them. I already knew that I wanted to have a cremation but I didn’t want the fuss, I was debating just having a a cremation with no mourners but after discussion with my children they would prefer if they could have a simple style funeral. I looked around and other company’s were offering pure cremations or full service. This is not what I wanted. Then I found Distinct Cremation who would do a cremation but with small number of mourners and no church service. Exactly what i was looking for. I emailed and asked all the questions that I needed and Nathan replied quickly putting my mind at rest. I then contacted him a couple of days later going over a few more details that I needed answering. Nathan’s professionalism was fantastic. Going through everything with me was so reassuring. I decided to take out two plans one for myself and another for my husband. As discussed we received a follow up courtesy call to confirm we has received the package and all was ok. I’m happy with my purchases and hopefully will take away the additional stress of arranging a funeral when the time comes. Thank you Distinct Cremation for making the whole process simple and easy to understand.

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

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.
