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.

Whether you're wanting to arrange a funeral today, planning for the future, or looking for something else, our customer service specialists are here for you 24/7 to answer any questions you may have on 01543 211997.

I found the whole experience easy. Everything was taken care of and all my queries and questions answered. It has taken a weight off my mind and also saved my family a lot of work at a time when it’s hard to think straight. I can relax now knowing everything is in good hands .

The people at Distinct Cremations were all so kind and very helpful. They always had answers for all of my questions. I received my partners ashes when they were promised with a half hours notice before they were actually delivered, which was nice.

None of the family (or wider circle of friends) had experienced this type of service prior to this occasion. Kerry Ludlow was so helpful & kind during such a difficult & emotional time. The whole process went really really smoothly & was exactly as we had hoped for. Kerry’s help with the paperwork & suggestions, we hadn’t thought of, was very very much appreciated. At such difficult times, it’s hard to make decisions & think of things, but we were all so very grateful for the care offered & given. The crematorium at SirHowy was very peaceful, with lovely open spaces. Anna our chapel attendant on the day was also very very lovely & so kind, as was the gentleman (I’m so sorry we didn’t take or remember his name) who assisted us when we collected our Dad’s ashes. The whole process went so smoothly, please pass on our gratitude to Kerry, Anna & everyone concerned. Thank you very very much .

I am deeply grateful to the staff at Distinct Cremations for their kindness and compassion during this process. From start to finish, they handled every detail with great care and respect, giving my husband a beautiful farewell. Also a special thank you to Sarah Miller for her professionalism and care. Their support and gentle guidance provided immense comfort, and I truly appreciate their dedication to making this experience as smooth and meaningful as possible. Thank you for helping me honor his memory with dignity and peace." Mrs G padfield

Courteous service from start to end. All questions were answered promptly. It was very reassuring to know that my friend was in good hands and I didn't need to do anything until his ashes were returned to me.
