I found the whole experience easy. Everything was taken care of and all my queries and questions answered. It has taken a weight off my mind and also saved my family a lot of work at a time when it’s hard to think straight. I can relax now knowing everything is in good hands .

We have purchased these, it gives peace of mind for your children to know everything is sorted.

The people at Distinct Cremations were all so kind and very helpful. They always had answers for all of my questions. I received my partners ashes when they were promised with a half hours notice before they were actually delivered, which was nice.

None of the family (or wider circle of friends) had experienced this type of service prior to this occasion. Kerry Ludlow was so helpful & kind during such a difficult & emotional time. The whole process went really really smoothly & was exactly as we had hoped for. Kerry’s help with the paperwork & suggestions, we hadn’t thought of, was very very much appreciated. At such difficult times, it’s hard to make decisions & think of things, but we were all so very grateful for the care offered & given. The crematorium at SirHowy was very peaceful, with lovely open spaces. Anna our chapel attendant on the day was also very very lovely & so kind, as was the gentleman (I’m so sorry we didn’t take or remember his name) who assisted us when we collected our Dad’s ashes. The whole process went so smoothly, please pass on our gratitude to Kerry, Anna & everyone concerned. Thank you very very much .

I am deeply grateful to the staff at Distinct Cremations for their kindness and compassion during this process. From start to finish, they handled every detail with great care and respect, giving my husband a beautiful farewell. Also a special thank you to Sarah Miller for her professionalism and care. Their support and gentle guidance provided immense comfort, and I truly appreciate their dedication to making this experience as smooth and meaningful as possible. Thank you for helping me honor his memory with dignity and peace." Mrs G padfield

Courteous service from start to end. All questions were answered promptly. It was very reassuring to know that my friend was in good hands and I didn't need to do anything until his ashes were returned to me.

If you are struggling to afford the costs of a funeral, you could be eligible for a Funeral Expenses Payment from the government to help you pay.

If you are not eligible for this financial help but would like low cost funeral services in Oxley, our simple cremation funerals prioritise affordability without compromising on care. Our direct cremation funerals without attendees are available from just £1,199. Alternatively, if you and your family would like the tradition of saying a final goodbye, our attended cremation services costs from £1,599.

The most affordable funeral option available is a direct cremation funeral. This is a cremation that takes place without any mourners present. Our respectful direct cremation funeral services in Oxley start from just £1,199. Prior to the cremation, the coffin is rested in the chapel with a chapel attendant present and a chosen piece of music can be played. The cremation then takes place and the ashes are personally returned to the preferred family member or friend.

If you are planning ahead for your own funeral, our Unattended Direct Cremation Plan for £1,699 is also available to those in the Oxley area. You can pay for this funeral plan upfront or flexibly in instalments if you would like to spread the cost.

Our Oxley funeral services let you arrange a funeral from your own home. You can research and choose the funeral option that suits you best on our website, then give our experienced and empathetic team a call on 01543 212000. Whilst our funerals can be arranged without needing to visit any physical premises, we have a nationwide network of 40 crematoriums so can provide flexibility in where our attended cremations are held.

Many of the traditional costs and formalities of a funeral are not necessary and can be removed in favour of a simple funeral. Our funeral services in Oxley offer compassion at a low cost. For those looking for a funeral without fuss, direct cremation is the simplest option as it is a completely unattended service. Our direct cremation starts from just £1,199. Or if you and your family would like to be present at your loved one's funeral service, our attended cremations from £1,599 are pared back to the essential funeral elements and carried out with the utmost respect.

When you begin researching funeral services in Oxley you may find the prices are higher than you expected. It's important to remember that a meaningful and personal send-off does not need to be expensive, adhere to tradition or contain any pomp and ceremony.

At Distinct Cremations, we offer simple, fuss-free Oxley funeral services so you can avoid paying for costs associated with a funeral that you may not want. For example, we transport the deceased in our own private ambulances so you don't have to hire costly hearses or limousines. We also provide simple and respectful coffins and ashes containers rather than ornate options which can be expensive.

Our most affordable Unattended Cremation service starts from just £1,199 and takes place without mourners present so you can say goodbye to your loved one in your own time in a way that reflects their life instead. Or if you would like to be present at the cremation to pay your respects, our Intimate Cremation costs from £1,599.
