A direct cremation is a simple affair, free of a service, procession and ceremony, with little fuss and little stress. At Distinct Cremations, we offer two options for you. A direct cremation which is unattended and a private cremation where up to 20 mourners can attend.

As we are part of the Westerleigh Group, the cremations will take place at one of 40 crematoriums we have across England, Wales and Scotland. This includes Howe Bridge Crematorium located just 13 miles from St Helens, which helps to serve those in Saughall, Mollington, Mickle Trafford, Dodleston, Great Barrow, Tarvin and all the surrounding areas in and around Chester.

There's also the option of having the cremation at West Lancashire Cemetery & Crematorium and Vale Royal Crematorium which are situated 14 miles and 26 miles respectively from St Helens.

Arranging a direct cremation with Distinct is straight forward and our customer service specialists are available 24/7 for your questions 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.
