A direct cremation is a great option for families looking for a fuss-free way to say goodbye. It removes the pressure of organising a traditional funeral service, allowing you to create a more personal memorial service, should you choose, at a later date.

At Distinct Cremations, we take care of arranging the funeral and return the ashes within 14 days. This means that your family and friends can then hold the memorial service at a date and venue that suits everyone.

At Distinct Cremations, we are part of the Westerleigh Group and we have a national network of crematoria England, Wales and Scotland.

For those in Salford, we have two crematoriums within close driving distance. This includes Howe Bridge Crematorium located just 15 miles from Salford, which helps to serve those in Eccles, Stretford, Prestwich, Swinton, Urmston, Droylsden and all the surrounding areas in and around Manchester.

There's also the option of having the cremation at Vale Royal Crematorium which is situated 33 miles from Salford.

This was difficult for us a family with dad wanting the unattended funeral plan however the service from Grace was exceptional. She kept us informed throughout the process and was very professional and empathetic. I would definitely recommend this company to look after your loved one who has passed over the rainbow bridge.

During such a sad moment in my life I was pleased to be have the support from Distinct Funerals, who were excellent from start to finish. They recommended a celebrant for the cremation, Chris Tabor, who was such a fantastic person and guided and supported me and did such a wonderful eulogy for my brother. I highly recommend the Mercia Forest Crematorium who again were helpful and supportive during this sad time. Distinct Funerals eased this stressful situation with their expert knowledge and professionalism.
