Since 2004, in the East & West Midlands including the Tyseley area, funeral costs have doubled.* A funeral plan protects you from rising costs in future and makes sure you get the type of funeral you want. For more information or to enquire about setting up a funeral plan, give our caring team a call on 01543 211997.

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 Tyseley where you could consider having your memorial service.

In nature

Daisies In A Field

For those who like to be outside, there are a number of parks near Tyseley which would be an appropriate venue for an outdoor memorial service such as The Shire Country Park and Burbury Brickworks Nature Reserve.

A local venue

Modern Restaurant In Hotel

HGC Club and Tyseley Community Centre both offer function rooms with different sized halls which are perfectly suited for a memorial service. Catering can also be provided upon request.

Surrounded by history

Formal Historic Restaurant With White Tablecloths

For those of a religious denomination, Shree Hindu Community Centre is in the centre of Tyseley, while Hall Green United Community Church is close by too.

Very easy to set up a funeral plan on line. All the information was very easy to understand and prices very reasonable, so pleased with everything my husband decided to purchase a plan as well

Straight forward.
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.
Stephen Duncan, on Feefo 21 Apr 2025

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.
