In this guide we explain what a direct cremation funeral plan is and how you can arrange a fully guaranteed plan for just £1,899.
A direct cremation is a simple, no angst funeral. It lets you celebrate someone’s life without tradition, stress or big expense.
A direct cremation typically costs 64% less than a traditional funeral* so it really is a savvy way to say goodbye.
The cremation can take place without any mourners present, and family and friends often have a celebration or wake at a time, date and venue that is more personal to them, sometimes with the ashes there. Or you could choose an attended cremation, with a service, but without paying for a lengthy procession of cars.
A direct cremation funeral plan helps you share your personal wishes and lets you pay for the funeral in advance at today’s prices.
So if you’re looking to save money on your funeral by having a simple no-fuss send-off rather than a costly traditional funeral – a direct cremation funeral plan could be right for you. Call us today on 0808 304 7573 or request your free guide for more information.

Excellent service
Our allocated assistant - Maxine - bent over backwards to make sure we were happy. The communication was great, the staff were so respectful. We felt relaxed the whole time knowing our loved one was in good hands. We would definitely recommend Distinct Cremations.
Excellent
The staff in all stages of the funeral were excellent and very helpfull and caring, could not fault the service that the staff gave us.
Distinct Cremations, particularly Kerry and Paul, are highly recommended for their excellent communication, understanding, dignity, and support.
Friendly and helpful, have only just bought the plan
perfect service thank you
Excellent way to celebrate mom’s life
I received telephone calls to ensure we were happy in the way Distinct were handling things and to update us on the service and to ask for a favourite piece of music to be played at the service for when my mother-in-law arrived at the chapel reassuring us that she would not be on her own. To say we are happy with Distinct Cremations would very much be an understatement they were wonderful, caring and empathetic. We were contacted regarding the ashes delivery and the man that brought them was brilliant so smartly dressed and sympathetic. I can't thank you enough for your professionalism and for the sympathy and caring you showed us at a very sad and distressing time, and it is a pleasure to highly recommend you to others.
