Distinct Cremations

Distinct Cremations is a specialist provider of direct cremation services and prepaid funeral plans. Its services cover collection and care of the deceased at its own mortuary, paperwork, the cremation, and the return of ashes within 14 days or their scattering in its Garden of Remembrance. Attended and unattended direct cremations are offered, and the company operates its own fleet of private ambulances.

Customers are families arranging a funeral after a death, and people who buy a funeral plan to pay in advance. Revenue comes from direct cremation and funeral service fees and from funeral plans, which can be paid up front or by monthly instalments. Direct cremations start from £1,350 and funeral plans from £1,995.

The company was set up in 2021 and is part of Westerleigh Group, which operates 42 crematoria across England, Scotland and Wales. Its operational hub is in Cannock, Staffordshire, and it serves mainland Great Britain.
