If you're interested in preparing for the future, one of our Northwich funeral plans may be ideal for you. A prepaid funeral plan lets you pay for a funeral in advance for yourself, a family member or a friend.
One of the benefits of getting a funeral plan is to protect yourself from rising funeral prices. Since 2004, in the northwest including the Northwich area, funeral costs have more than doubled.* Pre-paying for a funeral plan also takes the organisational stress away from your family when the time comes.
As part of the Westerleigh group, we have 40 crematoriums across the UK where our prepayment funeral plans are fulfilled. So even if the person covered by the funeral plan moves out of the Northwich area in future, their funeral will still go ahead exactly as planned, as long as they're still based somewhere in mainland UK.
* Increase is based on the average cost of a funeral in the North West of England in 2004 (£1,766, SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2015) and in 2023 (£3,802, SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2024, sunlife.co.uk/funeral-costs)
We’re here for you whether you are looking for our direct cremation services today or planning for tomorrow.

Relax knowing that the arrangements are agreed and paid for. There are no medical questions and acceptance is guaranteed. You can also pay in monthly instalments.
** Price advertised is for a 50 year old paying over a 10 year period. Total cost is £2,332.80 and includes administration fees.

Vale Royal Crematorium Shurlach Lane, Davenham, Northwich, CW9 8RP
If you are interested in a personal, intimate, attended cremation to celebrate the life of a loved one, this can take place at our beautiful crematorium in the heart of Cheshire. Up to 8 people can attend a 10 minute service from just £1,599 or 20 people can attend a 20 minute service from just £1,749.
Reminiscent of a country house, Vale Royal Crematorium is landscaped with trees, colourful flowerbeds, and lawns, reflecting the surrounding rural setting. The multi-faith crematorium also features oak furnishings, bespoke lighting, and a music system with an extensive music library allowing you to curate a truly personal service.
Our Northwich funeral services are also available to all those in the surrounding areas and across mainland UK. Wherever you are, you can feel reassured that your loved ones will be professionally and compassionately looked after.
At Distinct Cremations, our services allow you to have a funeral in two parts. Firstly, there is the cremation itself, which we take care of. We collect the deceased, carry out the cremation, and hand-deliver the ashes back making things as fuss and stress-free as possible for families. Secondly, there is the memorial service or celebration which the family organises. Loved ones can gather at a time and place of their choice to commemorate the deceased.
With our direct cremation, we allow families to say goodbye when they want, where they want and how they want. These are just some of the many places in Northwich where you could consider having your memorial service.
For sports fans, a local Northwich sporting venue like Winnington Park Rugby Football Club can be a great way to commemorate their interests and remember them in a place they enjoyed.
Northwich locals may like their lives to be celebrated in a location with local history like the Lion Salt Works, a former salt production factory that now hires out its Thompson Suite event space.
The most meaningful location for a wake could be the local restaurant that you and your family or friends visited often or a characterful pub like the Grade II-listed Hartford Hall inn.
We offer the highest level of support, but don't just take our word for it. Below are recent reviews from customers who bought a funeral with us.
Distinct Cremations leave out the funeral fuss and needless extras but leave in great service and a wonderfully caring attitude. That’s why my instinct is Distinct.
