Really lovely helpful lady called Sarah
Catherine Diane Lees, on Feefo 17 Apr 2025
My Mam had purchased an unattended cremation plan and I had to deal with Distinct Cremations as her daughter and next of kin. They provided an excellent service, kept me informed at every stage. They were very compassionate and understanding at this challenging time and always offered any support I may have needed. The people I had contact with over the phone and the people who delivered Mams ashes back to me were very professional.

Distinct Cremation provided a flawless service for my late mother’s cremation, handled with kindness and sensitivity. They made the whole process so easy at what was a difficult and sad time for the family. My mother would have been so pleased to know the decision she made to use Distinct Cremation was a very good one.
