The crematorium opened in 2015 and offers cremation, traditional burial and natural burial, set in a magnificent park with manicured gardens and restful country views. Positioned on the B6179 Derby Road between Alfreton and Swanwick, it was designed to sit gently within the island of green space between the two villages.
Inside, the chapel provides seating for 100 people and can stand and seat 200 when the foyer space is included. For the largest gatherings, services of over 400 people can be accommodated on site by piping the service outside under the porte-cochere. The chapel may be used for cremation, burial or memorial services. There is parking for 60 vehicles, plus overflow capacity for around an additional 40 places.
Services run at one-hour intervals, with the option to extend upon request, and can also be booked outside of normal hours and at weekends.
Saying goodbye is deeply personal. Whether you are making funeral arrangements for a loved one now or preparing your own plans for the future, we will help you create a thoughtful farewell that honours the individual and the life they lived.
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.
In the difficult days after someone has died, managing practical arrangements can feel like too much. Our role is to guide and support you, handling every detail carefully and ensuring your loved one is treated with the utmost care 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.
A direct cremation can also work well for families who would rather say goodbye in their own way and at their own pace, or who cannot all come together for a funeral.
If you are looking to the future, a prepaid funeral plan allows you to arrange and 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.
We offer flexible ways to pay, with the option to make one upfront payment or pay by 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.
Choosing a funeral doesn’t mean compromising on environmental values. Our electric cremator was a UK first, and we remain committed to reducing emissions and impact.
We also review our carbon footprint every year to stay accountable and transparent. We can help you arrange a funeral that reflects your values and theirs. Caring for the environment runs through all we do, as standard.
Grief can feel like something you have to face alone, but that isn’t the case. A conversation with your GP or a community group in Long Eaton can open the door to bereavement support available across Derbyshire.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be eligible for the Government’s Funeral Expenses Payment. This can help with burial or cremation fees, certain travel costs and the necessary certificates, along with up to £1,000 towards other funeral expenses.
It is also worth knowing that if your loved one had money held in a bank account, banks will often release funds specifically to help meet funeral costs.
