The chapel seats up to 100 people, with the ability to accommodate larger services of over 400 guests on site by piping the service outside. The chapel may be used for both cremation and memorial services, offering families a peaceful and fitting setting to say goodbye.
Inside the chapel, a range of facilities are available to support you and your guests, including a hearing loop for those with hearing difficulties, an organ for families who wish to include hymns, and webcam facilities to allow loved ones to view the service online if they are unable to attend in person
A funeral service may be guided by faith, or it may be non-religious, either way, it is a deeply personal and emotional experience for family and friends. For this reason, it is important that on the day, families feel they have the chapel to themselves, with the time and space to reflect and remember.
Service times are available in one-hour intervals, and can be extended upon request. Services can also be arranged at weekends, depending on availability.
Whether you need to organise a funeral right now for someone close to you, or you’re considering making your own plans in advance, we’re here to guide and support you in creating a personal and meaningful farewell.
If a death has occurred, we will manage all necessary arrangements promptly, helping you plan a fitting tribute with or without a service, while caring for your loved one with complete dignity and respect.
If you are planning for the future, our prepaid funeral plans give you the opportunity to arrange and pay for your funeral in advance. This ensures your wishes are clearly recorded, costs are covered, and your family won’t need to worry when the time comes.
From your initial enquiry through to the day of the funeral and afterwards, you can rely on our ongoing support.
When someone has just passed away, it can feel overwhelming. Our role is to make things as straightforward as possible, while caring for your loved one with dignity and respect.
We believe a funeral should reflect the life and character of the individual. We will work with you to arrange a farewell that feels appropriate, whether that means a small family-led service, a more traditional ceremony, or a direct cremation without a service.
Arrange a funeral with a service at a day and time that suits your family. Your dedicated funeral planner will take care of every detail, ensuring the arrangements reflect your wishes, including music choices and any special requests.
We provide a variety of options, from a straightforward cremation with an intimate gathering of close family and friends to a larger celebration of life. Each service can be tailored to suit your wishes and budget. Additional elements such as a hearse, limousine, or officiant can be included if required.
A direct cremation is ideal for those who don’t like funerals or who don’t want a fuss. While there’s no service, rest assured your funeral will be carried out to the highest standard by our funeral directors and staff. We treat those in our care with the utmost respect, with our chapel attendant bowing a goodbye to every single coffin.
If you’re thinking about the future, a prepaid funeral plan allows you to arrange and pay for your funeral ahead of time, giving you peace of mind and clarity about your wishes.
We provide a selection of prepaid plans to suit a range of preferences and budgets. Whether you want a full service or a simple unattended direct cremation, your instructions will be carefully documented and honoured in the future.
We have two options here, the Personal Plan is ideal for those wanting a smaller simple service for close friends and family, held at an off-peak time to keep costs as low as possible. Alternatively the Celebration of Life Plan can be a fuller affair with no limitations on the number of attendees or time restrictions. Both plans can be personalised to reflect your wishes, including options for a hearse, limousines, music, and flowers. The ceremony may be led by family members, or you can choose to include an officiant within your plan.
This plan covers all the essentials for a straightforward direct cremation, with no extra costs left for your family to manage. Although there is no service, you can be assured that your funeral will be conducted with dignity, respect, and the highest standard of care.
