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.

My wife and I decided to sort out our funeral arrangements we looked at various brochures phoned all the major company's .The best one we found was Distinct cremations not the cheapest but the best . The lady who dealt with me was so informative and patient . Everything was explained and all my questions were answered ,I didn't feel pushed into making a decision there and then .This company do really care I've never spoke to anyone in the industry with such knowledge of their company and such compassion when discussing what is a delicate and personal subject . We have recommended this company to my wife's sister and husband and they too have taken out a policy with them . Fully recommended

I did not purchase this plan it was purchased by my sister who is the one that died. However I have been extremely impressed by the service provided by Distinct Cremations from day one. Their staff have been helpfull, courteous and polite throughout my dealings with them and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Upon deciding what future wishes I wanted I contacted distinct and spoke to a wonderful lady called Sarah Jordan who explained everything I needed to know regarding my future wishes in the most calming, stress free way, Sarah made the whole process feel so natural,where people may find this sort of thing quite a difficult subject to approach, Sarah has an undoubted ,reassuring quality about her and her calming and caring nature shone through like a lighthouse guiding the ship to port, very professional in her attitude and mindful of what the customer may or not need without the pushy type nature of a sales person selling a product, I was so grateful for the input I received and without doubt I would recommend this company for your future wishes to be taken care of, very competitively priced with so many different options to choose from,and also a good financial plan for spreading the cost that makes it manageable for your own personal choice,and most importantly someone who has a good idea of what you are going through but also the reassurance you need to make your final wishes and decisions when the time comes thanks Sarah
