If you're interested in preparing for the future, one of our Coventry funeral plans may be ideal for you. A prepaid funeral plan lets you pay for a funeral in advance for yourself, a family member or a friend.
One of the benefits of getting a funeral plan is to protect yourself from rising funeral prices. Since 2004, in the East & West Midlands including the Coventry area, funeral costs have doubled.* Pre-paying for a funeral plan also takes the organisational stress away from your family when the time comes.
As part of the Westerleigh group, we have 41 crematoriums across the UK where our prepayment funeral plans are fulfilled. So even if the person covered by the funeral plan moves out of the Coventry in future, their funeral will still go ahead exactly as planned, as long as they're still based somewhere in mainland UK. Call our compassionate team on 01543 211997 for guidance or to set up a funeral plan. We're available to answer your questions 24/7.
* Increase is based on the average cost of a funeral in the East & West Midlands in 2004 (£2,061, SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2015) and in 2023 (£4,150, SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2024, sunlife.co.uk/funeral-costs)
We’re here for you whether you are looking for our direct cremation services today or planning for tomorrow.

Relax knowing that the arrangements are agreed and paid for. There are no medical questions and acceptance is guaranteed. You can also pay in monthly instalments.
** Price advertised is for a 50 year old paying over a 10 year period. Total cost is £2,374.80 and includes administration fees.

If you are interested in a personal, intimate, attended cremation to celebrate the life of a loved one, this can take place at our beautiful crematorium just outside Birmingham. Up to 8 people can attend a 10 minute service from just £1,699 or 20 people can attend a 20 minute service from just £1,899.
Surrounded by beautiful views of the Waseley Hills, the Waseley Hills Crematorium and Memorial Garden, built in 2022, offers a modern, peaceful place to reflect. Amongst the landscaped grounds you'll find a tranquil memorial garden for contemplation and reflection, while the state-of-the-art crematoria offers a sophisticated media system with access to a fantastic catalogue of music, allowing you to create a truly personal service.
Our Coventry funeral services are also available to all those in the surrounding areas and across mainland UK. Wherever you are, you can feel reassured that your loved ones will be professionally and compassionately looked after.
At Distinct Cremations, you can look at our funeral as a funeral of two parts. First, there is the cremation itself, where we take care of collecting the deceased, carrying out the cremation, personally returning the ashes and making things as fuss and stress-free for the family as possible. Secondly, there is the memorial service or celebration which the family organise where loved ones gather at a separate time to commemorate the deceased.
With our direct cremation funeral plans, we take the stress away from the process allowing the family to say goodbye when they want, where they want and how they want. Here are some places in Coventry where you could consider having your memorial service.
Situated in the countryside just outside Coventry, Coombe Abbey Park offers 500-acres wildlife. You may also like to hold a wake or stay overnight at Coombe Abbey Hotel.
Sports clubs often offer flexible events spaces so you may wish to hold a wake at your preferred Coventry football club or perhaps at Coventry Rugby Club which also has an event space.
You may find a venue right in the centre of Coventry like St Mary's Guildhall with over 700 years of history suits your wake best or perhaps a venue as simple as your local pub or restaurant.
We offer the highest level of support, but don't just take our word for it. Below are recent reviews from customers who bought a funeral with us.
Distinct Cremations leave out the funeral fuss and needless extras but leave in great service and a wonderfully caring attitude.

If you know you'll be the one making funeral arrangements for someone else in future, you can take out a funeral plan for them for peace of mind.

We offer a number of different ways to pay for our funeral plans in Coventry. For those who prefer to pay in full, we offer the option to pay upfront in a single payment. Or if you would rather split the cost of the payments so you're not paying as much in one go, we also offer the flexibility of paying in monthly instalments over 1, 5 or 10 years.
Yes, it is possible to plan your own funeral and doing so has a number of benefits. With our Coventry funeral plans, you can pay for your funeral in advance to relieve your family of the financial burden when the time comes. Funeral planning ahead of time also gives you and your family peace of mind about what will happen and leaves no uncertainty about your wishes.
