By having a Brierley Hill funeral plan in place, you can arrange your own funeral ahead of time and relieve your family members of the burden of making important decisions while grieving. You are also protected from rising funeral costs. Since 2004, in the West Midlands including the Brierley Hill area, funeral costs have doubled.*

Our Brierley Hill funeral plans are facilitated at Waseley Hills Crematorium located just 9 miles from Brierley Hill. We are part of the Westerleigh Group which has 41 crematoriums nationwide, so even if the funeral plan holder moves to a different part of the country in future, you can be assured that the funeral will go ahead and we can still provide you with our quality and caring funeral plan services.

To set up your funeral plan, call us today on 01543 211997. Our funeral plans start from just £1,899 for an unattended plan or £2,399 for an attended plan.

* 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 2024 (£4,233, SunLife Cost of Dying Report 2025, sunlife.co.uk/funeral-costs)

Distinct Cremations

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 Brierley Hill where you could consider having your memorial service.

A pub or bar

Traditional Old British Pub

A location that someone visited frequently in their life could add a personal touch to their wake such as The Waterfront, which is a popular location that will have venues suitable for memorial services.

A local venue

Beer On Table In Pub

Brockmoor Community Centre or Brierley Hill Civic Hall both offer event spaces that available for hire, making them a potential community location for a memorial service or wake.

A meaningful location

Local Social Club Interior

This historic St. Michael's Church might offer its facilities for memorial services, particularly if the deceased had a connection to the church.

Emma Susan Beach, on Feefo 23 Apr 2025
We received incredibly helpful support from Tracey when we did our Cremation plans. Tracey guided us through the whole process, and made it a positive customer experience. Thinking ahead about future plans isn't always easy, but we were put at ease by the friendly and helpful service we received. A relief to get our plans arranged. Would absolutely recommend Direct Cremation. A big "Thank You" to Tracey for the excellent customer care she gave us.

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.
