"Although you don't get to have a crematorium service, we have family who live abroad, and getting everybody to attend at the same time would have proved very difficult. So, we waited for the ashes to be returned and arranged a wake at a time that suited the vast majority of the family. The fact that two of my siblings are now considering this type of arrangement speaks volumes. Distinct Cremations was a positive experience for our family."

Thank you, H, for this kind review. Unattended cremations offer an alternative choice of funerals for families, and we're pleased it helped you to gather and say a farewell to your loved one together.

"I had been thinking of planning my funeral for a while but couldn't afford it. I'd seen an advert for Distinct Cremations and went for it. I applied online (so easy to do) and spread the cost over 5 years. So now my family doesn't have to plan anything or find silly amounts of money. Best thing I've done in a few years. Thank you, Distinct Cremations."

Planning a funeral ahead of time means you pay today's prices, and save against future cost increases, giving you peace of mind.
Thank you, Kerry, for this great review.

If you were in Asda Cannock last Thursday or Friday evening, you couldn’t have failed to spot Pudsey raising money for Children in Need 2025.

Our very own Head of Funeral Operations, Martyn Jeynes, stepped into the role of Pudsey for two evenings last week with his collecting bucket.

Martyn raised a fabulous total of £670, the most ever raised in such a short amount of time at that store, according to Asda staff - and by the tallest Pudsey they have ever known.

Thank you to all the generous shoppers who helped Martyn set such wonderfully high targets.

Congratulations to the team at our newest crematorium, East Lothian in Musselburgh near Edinburgh, which opened at the end of October.

Designed to complement the local surroundings, our crematorium is set within beautifully landscaped gardens. Families can choose from a range of memorials for their loved ones, including living memorials or our engraved Mulberry Tree.

East Lothian Crematorium is also equipped with features to create a personalised tribute, including a full-sized canvas wall, creating a themed backdrop for displaying your loved one's photo during the service.

FAQ: How long does it take to plan a funeral?

With Distinct Cremations, once you notify us you'll be assigned a dedicated funeral arranger from our caring and expert team. It will take approximately 2-4 weeks to arrange a funeral, which includes completing the necessary paperwork and the cremation itself.

Once the cremation takes place, you can choose to have the ashes scattered in the beautiful gardens of remembrance at the crematorium or personally hand-delivered to you by our team within 14 days.
