The telephone service personnel were very friendly and helpful, not at all pushy. Would recommend the service, as every thing went to plan.

Their customer service staff are excellent. I had a dedicated member of staff, Sarah Miller, who went over and beyond to reassure me. Everything was carried out with incredible efficiency and support. I had a bad experience with another direct cremation undertakers and appreciate so much the faultless care and support Distinct Cremation gave me.

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.

The services both Christopher and I received was outstanding from the time we made the call when my aunt passed away. Throughout the time and to the point when my aunt came home even thre driver was so sincere. Thank you.

We cannot praise this company enough. We were liaising with Steven, he was professional, kind and totally empathised with us. He contacted us on a few occasions before the cremation to check everything was ok but more importantly were we ok. The cremation went very well, it was simple but very tasteful and everything went as planned. The lady in charge of our cremation was again very professional, kind and caring. We wholeheartedly recommend this company. Thank you all.

I cannot thank the team at distinct cremations enough. From the first phone call they were so helpful, kind and compassionate. They kept in touch throughout the whole process from start to finish. We had my dad hand delivered to us yesterday and a phone call today to see how everything went. I would highly recommend distinct cremations over and over again. Everyone that I dealt with on the phone were so caring and really put me at ease at the worst time. From the cost to the whole package from start to finish. They dealt with the whole thing in such a compassionate, professional manor unlike other companies I had been in contact with.
