Distinctive Life Cremations & Funerals

Melissa was a great help during a difficult time. She was always pleasant and knowledgeable. She visited us at our house and helped us with every detail of the cremation and memorial service. She provided us with so many options to make the memorial service truly personal. We never ever felt like another customer to her. She was very compassionate and understanding. I would recommend Distinctive Life to anyone.

We met Melissa and Distinctive Life under very difficult circumstances. She handled the cremation of my mother and grandmother with compassion and professionalism. She was ready to help with anything we needed and answered every question patiently and honestly. I highly recommend Distinctive Life.

We found Melissa and Distinctive Life in June 2015. Melissa was very helpful and available to my whole family when we needed her. She explained everything in detail and she was a pleasure to work with in a very sad time in all of our lives. I would highly recommend Distinctive Life in Austin —

The staff is personable and knowledgeable. Melissa specifically was the most helpful person around me during my most emotionally trying time. I’m so grateful the a company so progressive is here in Austin now.

We used Melissa Unfred and Distinctive Life in late May (2015). The last thing you want to think about when a loved one dies is how to best make the arrangements; Melissa was so, so helpful, knowledgeable and available. Her work was thorough and she’s a pleasure and professional in every way.
We started with Distinctive Life because of their affordability. We will use them again because of Melissa’s incredible attention to detail and her kindness.
We had a pretty big mix-​up — which was our family’s fault and that Melissa had no responsibility for — on the day of my dad’s service, and Melissa helped us solve it, beautifully, with professionalism and patience.
When you’re dealing with the kind of stressful situation that leads you to seek out funeral arrangements, you want someone honest, kind and professional. Melissa and Distinctive Life exceeded our expectations on every way.

It brings me peace to know that if something were to happen to me my family already knows about this facility as they will be able to honor my wishes without making my family go broke.

I am so glad that we found Distinctive Life. The staff truly made the whole process a lot easier for our family. The funeral director, Melissa, came out to our home and spent time with us — discussing things and creating the most wonderful and personalized memorial service we could ever dream of. She was very professional, knowledgeable and compassionate during our difficult time. Also — pricing is not something you really want to think about when memorializing a beloved family member, but in reality it is a factor, and we felt that Distinctive Life offered good, honest pricing for their services.

The level of attentiveness and personal care during the entire planning and memorial service process was unparalleled. We never had to settle for «cookie-​cutter». Everything was personalized and customized to reflect Dad in every way.
