FIrst Class

Maxine was kind, understanding, very efficient and easy to talk to. I thought the whole process worked very well and found it more personal than using a traditional Funeral Director as I have in the past, when my parents died.

I will definitely buy a funeral plan with them.

Great customer service

The representative Dylan was very friendly & professional. He explained my plan details clearly and was more than happy to explain anything in the plan that I was unsure of. He did as he said and followed up with a phone call to check I received my plan details and that all was in order . I would 100% recommend this company what could have been a difficult time was made easy to arrange by Dylan who answered my call . I purchased a prepaid future plan .

Best choice for my husband.

I can't speak highly enough about the service and total compassion that I received following the passing of my dear husband.
He made it clear that he didn't want a fuss as he called it and I'd highly recommend Distinct who carried out his wishes.
Sarah was lovely she called each time to update me and support me verbally also they have a bereavement number for support afterwards.
Definitely the best choice I made for my husband.

Thank you to a very considerate support team

I found the support for my brother's funeral arrangements to be considerate, understanding, and clear. Maxine was a model of efficiency whilst still finding the right tone as we navigate this challenging time. Many thanks for ensuring this side of my brother's death was as stress free as possible.

My mom & myself had booked what my she wanted in advance of her passing.

I can honestly say that from the most difficult telephone conversation I have ever had to make.

Maxine took total control, such a lovely empathetic and professional person explained everything in great detail. Step by step, cannot fault anything such a wonderful dignified service with an amazing slide show for my wonderful mom from birth to her great grandchildren.

Thank you so much Maxine for everything that you have done, there are no words that I could say to ever repay the faultless & professional service that you provided for my mom xxxx

We couldn't have been looked after with any more thought or care, through the most difficult time.

Every detail was handled with a personal touch, kindness and humility for which we are so grateful.

Thank you for guiding and supporting us. Your service couldn't have been better.

Deserves more than 5 stars.

If it were possible I would give Distinct Cremations an extra star or a +. My wife died unexpectedly without a funeral plan in place. I panicked and rang around for a solution as my wife had made her wishes very clear. Only Distinct cremations took the time to listen to my needs and provide solutions. They then explained what they would do and the sequence of events. Maxine was my main point of contact but all staff were attentive and considerate. The video tribute is essential although heartbreaking. Could not have asked for better service.

Making a sad time much easier.

I had never directly dealt with a death of a loved one and all that it entails so to say I was daunted was an understatement but the minute I contacted Distinct Cremations that instantly changed I talked to a lovely lady Sarah Miller who said she would deal with everything and I wasn't to worry the pressure it took off me was immense and she was to be my contact throughout it is a fantastic service and so personal thank you
