Very professional, sensitive and knowledgeable service. It’s never easy to discuss or plan your end of life with loved ones, however we feel that we have finalised ours with the help of Distinct cremations. You have answered any question we had about the processes once we have passed, which we can now share with our loved ones. We both feel confident that this will make these difficult times less stressful for loved ones.

I would just like to say A particular thank you to Kerry from Distinct cremation and to Chris Tabor the celebrant who led my dads service in westerleigh crematorium. From the very first contact Kerry has been so kind , thoughtful and helpful and knowledgeable in what is a very sad and difficult time in arranging a funeral. I was in the know all the time , the communication and organization was superb to the start to the very end. We had a lovely Send off for my dad ( albeit very emotional day ) Kerry highly recommended Chris who was very kind and thorough about getting to know my dad and told my dad’s story very very well on the day , the entire family were highly impressed with Chris and the service. So a huge thank you to both Kerry and Chris I

Arranging my funeral plan was straightforward and easy with Distinct Cremation. I chose their basic cremation option and found their customer service and attention to detail splendid. If they take care of me in death as they have in life, no worries, lol.
