The grounds include a Garden of Remembrance where ashes can be scattered, offering a serene spot for quiet reflection, and there is also space for those looking for burial services.
The chapel provides a dignified environment, with seating for up to 100 guests and the potential to accommodate larger gatherings by including foyer space if required. It is suitable for cremation, burial or memorial services, allowing families to hold a meaningful tribute in a respectful setting.
Inside, the chapel is equipped with facilities to support personalised services, including a hearing loop, advanced music systems or live organ accompaniment, webcam streaming for remote viewing, and screens for visual tributes during the service.
Whether the service is faith-based or entirely non-religious, it remains a deeply personal occasion for family and friends. Waveney Memorial Park and Crematorium aims to provide a setting and level of care that honours each farewell with dignity, compassion and thoughtful support.
Service times are arranged in one-hour slots, allowing space for arrival, the ceremony itself and time to thank guests at the end. There is also the option to extend service times upon request, and services can be arranged outside normal hours, including weekends, depending on availability.
Whether you need to arrange a funeral today for a loved one or you’re planning your own funeral in advance, we’re here to help you create a meaningful farewell.
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’re planning ahead, our prepaid funeral plans allow you to arrange and pay for your funeral in advance, ensuring your wishes are known, costs are covered, and everything is taken care of for your family.
From the first call to the day of the funeral and beyond, you’ll have our full support.
If someone has just died, we understand this can be an overwhelming time. Our role is to make things as straightforward as possible, while caring for your loved one with dignity and respect.
We believe every funeral should be as unique as the person it’s for. That’s why we’ll help you create a meaningful send-off that feels right for them, whether that includes a simple family-led service, a traditional funeral, 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 offer a range of personalised options, from a simple cremation with a smaller service for close family and friends, to a full celebration of life, that can be uniquely tailored to your budget and preferences. Additional services such as a hearse, limousine, or officiant can also be added if you wish.
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 offer a range of prepaid funeral plans designed to suit different needs, preferences, and budgets. Whether you would like a simple, family-led service, or a more traditional funeral with ceremony, or even a no-fuss direct cremation with no service at all, your wishes will be clearly recorded and followed when the time comes.
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 fully personalised, with hearse and limousines, music and flowers. The service can be family-led or you can prepay for an officiant if preferred.
This plan includes everything required for a simple, no-fuss direct cremation, with no additional costs for your loved ones. Although there is no service, you can be assured that your funeral will be conducted with dignity, respect, and the highest standard of care.
