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 41 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.

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.
