A non traditional funeral is a no fuss funeral which allows the family to say goodbye in a way they choose rather than being inhibited by historic practices. With a non traditional funeral, the family has the flexibility to tailor the funeral cremation to the personality of the deceased.
At Distinct Cremations, our non traditional funerals focus on making the funeral as simple and stress free as possible, and instead allow the family to focus on spending time with loved ones or organise a memorial service that suits the deceased.
We offer two non traditional funerals: a direct cremation which is unattended and an attended cremation.
Choosing a non traditional funeral instead of a traditional funeral lets you celebrate a loved one’s life however you wish, with less stress and no fuss.
You can see the key differences between a non traditional funeral and a traditional funeral in more detail below.
