The chapel offers a calm, welcoming space with seating for up to 100 guests, and can be adapted to accommodate larger gatherings where needed. Suitable for cremation, burial and memorial services, it gives families a respectful environment in which to gather and celebrate a life. The memorial park sits among natural green spaces and includes a dedicated Garden of Remembrance for cremated remains.
Inside, the chapel is well equipped for personal, meaningful tributes. Facilities include a hearing loop for those with hearing difficulties, modern music systems with the option of live organ accompaniment, webcam streaming for guests who cannot be there in person, and screens for photo or visual tributes.
Whether the farewell is faith-led or entirely non-religious, it remains a deeply personal occasion, and Cardiff and Glamorgan Memorial Park & Crematorium aims to treat every service with compassion, dignity and care.
Services are usually booked in one-hour time slots, with time built in for arrival and departure, so families have the privacy and space to say goodbye without feeling rushed. Where available, service times can be extended on request or arranged outside standard opening hours.
A meaningful farewell matters, whether you are arranging a funeral for a loved one today or you are planning your own funeral in advance, we are here to help with both.
If someone has died, we’ll take care of all the arrangements as quickly as needed, supporting you to create a fitting send-off with or without a service while looking after your loved one with the utmost respect.
If you are considering planning ahead, our prepaid funeral plans enable you to organise and fund your funeral in advance. This means your preferences are clearly set out, the costs are secured, and your family is spared additional worry at an already difficult time.
From the moment you contact us to the day of the funeral and in the time that follows, we will be by your side with continued support.
When someone has just passed away, it can feel overwhelming. Our role is to ease the practical pressures, managing the arrangements on your behalf while ensuring your loved one is cared for with compassion and respect.
We believe every funeral should be as unique as the person it’s for. We will help you plan a farewell that feels appropriate, whether that is a modest family-led ceremony, a traditional attended service, or a no-fuss direct cremation with no attendees.
Arrange a funeral with a service on 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 offer flexible options, whether you would prefer a smaller, more intimate cremation service for close family and friends or a larger gathering. Each funeral can be adapted to meet your preferences and budget. Additional features such as a hearse, limousine, or officiant are available should you wish to include them.
A direct cremation is ideal for those who don’t like funerals or who don’t want a fuss. Although there is no service, you can 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, and our chapel attendant bows a goodbye to every single coffin.
It can also be a suitable option for families who want the freedom to say goodbye in their own way and in their own time, or for those who may be unable to attend a funeral together.
If you are looking to the future, a prepaid funeral plan allows you to pay for your funeral ahead of time, giving you peace of mind and certainty about your wishes.
We offer a range of prepaid funeral plans to suit different needs, preferences and budgets. Whether you would like a funeral service for family and friends to pay their respects, or a simple, unattended direct cremation, your wishes will be clearly recorded and followed when the time comes.
To make paying for your plan more flexible, you can choose between a single upfront payment and monthly instalments, subject to eligibility.
There are two options to choose from. The Personal Plan suits those wanting a smaller, simple service for close friends and family, held at an off-peak time to keep costs as low as possible.
The Celebration of Life Plan allows for a fuller occasion, with no limits on the number of attendees and no time restrictions. Both plans allow for personal touches, including the choice of hearse, limousines, music and floral tributes, and the service may be led by family members or by an officiant.
This plan covers everything needed for a simple direct cremation, with nothing further for your family to pay. While there is no service, you can be confident your funeral will be conducted with dignity, respect and the highest standard of care.
We believe a meaningful farewell can also be mindful of the planet. Our crematoria were the first to feature electric cremators in the UK, and we review our emissions yearly. We also review our carbon footprint every year to stay accountable and transparent.
