Our Kingswinford 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.

Distinct Cremations

There are many meaningful locations in and around Kingswinford for scattering ashes once they have been hand-delivered back.

However, please note before you do so that you must gain permission from the landowner or local authority first.

Long Grass In Field

Scattering ashes in nature

A local park can have many happy memories attached so can be a nostalgic and significant place to scatter the ashes of a loved one. Kingswinford is close to several local parks that you may have visited many times over the years including King George VI Park and Cot Lane Park.

Family Looking Out Over Lake

Scattering ashes over water

The Staffordshire and Worcestershire canal is one of the most beautiful in the country and is a scenic place to scatter ashes. The canal can be joined by a number of places in Kingswinford including from the Kingswinford Railway Walk.

Flowers In A Field

Scattering ashes somewhere meaningful

Scattering ashes can be a very important and personal part of the grieving process so rather than a public park or canal you may prefer to choose a location closer to home. Ashes can be scattered in your own back garden or perhaps the beer garden of your loved one's local pub like High Acres Pub or The Cross Inn.

With a direct cremation, you have the freedom to arrange a personal memorial service of your choosing in your own time. Places in and around Kingswinford that may be suited to your memorial service include church halls, village or town halls, sports or social clubs, pubs, restaurants or hotels.

Kingswinford Community Centre

For those close to their commuity, Kingswinford Community Centre may be the perfect spot to host a memorial service for a loved one. The community centre has three different rooms which can accommodate between 20 and 50 people, and a hall for larger groups which can host up to 120 people.

The Cottage

The Cottage on Kingswinford high street is a lovely real ale pub with a beautiful, picturesque frontage which has a number of spaces that would be perfect for a memorial service, including a private function room that can be hired upon request.

At home in Kingswinford

Holding the wake in your own home has the benefit of being convenient, saving money and providing the perfect backdrop for reminiscing about the happy memories you shared with your loved one. You can ease the pressure of organising by asking family and friends to chip in.

Upon deciding what future wishes I wanted I contacted distinct and spoke to a wonderful lady called Sarah Jordan who explained everything I needed to know regarding my future wishes in the most calming, stress free way, Sarah made the whole process feel so natural,where people may find this sort of thing quite a difficult subject to approach, Sarah has an undoubted ,reassuring quality about her and her calming and caring nature shone through like a lighthouse guiding the ship to port, very professional in her attitude and mindful of what the customer may or not need without the pushy type nature of a sales person selling a product, I was so grateful for the input I received and without doubt I would recommend this company for your future wishes to be taken care of, very competitively priced with so many different options to choose from,and also a good financial plan for spreading the cost that makes it manageable for your own personal choice,and most importantly someone who has a good idea of what you are going through but also the reassurance you need to make your final wishes and decisions when the time comes thanks Sarah
