7 things to consider when choosing a direct cremation funeral plan provider

1

Do they specialise in direct cremation funerals and have plenty of experience with this type of send-off?

5
Can they provide a service local to you, or do they only operate in a few locations?
2

Do they provide the plan and deliver the funeral when the time comes?

6

Do they offer a choice of plans for an unattended send-off or offer options for mourners to attend a short service?

3

During such a sad moment in my life I was pleased to be have the support from Distinct Funerals, who were excellent from start to finish. They recommended a celebrant for the cremation, Chris Tabor, who was such a fantastic person and guided and supported me and did such a wonderful eulogy for my brother. I highly recommend the Mercia Forest Crematorium who again were helpful and supportive during this sad time. Distinct Funerals eased this stressful situation with their expert knowledge and professionalism.

My questions were answered with compassion, and professionalism. Everything was explained fully and gave me peace of mind. We all know that we will die one day, but it is not something we like to talk about. Being able to talk to someone about my wishes without them getting upset, was brilliant. I am really happy with how easy it was to set everything I wanted, up. This is going to sound silly, but not leaving a financial burden to my family, means so much to me. I paid for my plan in one payment, but there are several other methods to pay available. All they need to do apon my death is make a phone call and it’s sorted. Job done!
