The chapel is bright, modern and welcoming, with seating for up to 100 guests and the flexibility to accommodate larger gatherings where needed. It is suitable for cremation, burial and memorial services, offering families a respectful environment in which to come together and honour a loved one. The memorial park has landscaped gardens, open rural views and a quiet sense of calm throughout the site, providing a comforting place for families to visit during difficult times. The park also includes a dedicated Garden of Remembrance, giving loved ones a tranquil space to reflect and remember.
Inside, the chapel includes a range of facilities designed to support personal and meaningful tributes. These include a hearing loop for guests with hearing difficulties, a high-quality music system with the option for live organ accompaniment, and webcam streaming to allow family and friends to take part remotely if they are unable to attend in person.
Whether the service is religious or non-religious, it remains a deeply personal moment. North Hertfordshire Memorial Park & Crematorium aims to provide a setting where every farewell is treated with kindness, dignity and care.
Services are typically arranged in one-hour time slots, with the option to extend where required. Where available, services can also be booked outside standard opening hours, including weekends, to suit individual family needs.
Whether you are faced with arranging a funeral now for someone you love, or you would like to put plans in place for your own funeral in the future, we are here to help you shape a farewell that truly reflects the life being remembered.
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 celebration of life. 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. 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 service or a simple, unattended direct cremation, 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 options allow for personal touches, including the choice of hearse, limousines, music, and floral tributes. The service may be led by family members, or you can choose to include an officiant within the plan.
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.
The death of someone close can be devastating. There is no ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ way to grieve and your experience of grief will be different from other people’s. If you are experiencing loss, you can find local support in and around Letchworth.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be entitled to the Government’s Funeral Expenses Payment, which can provide up to £1,000 towards the cost of a loved one’s funeral.
If your loved one had money set aside in their bank account, many banks are also able to release funds directly to help cover funeral costs, even before probate is completed.
The crematorium chapel seats up to 100 people and can be adapted for larger gatherings if needed. The site includes a Garden of Remembrance for ashes, ample parking, disabled access and facilities such as a hearing loop, music system and webcam streaming for those unable to attend in person.
Most cremations are typically arranged within 7 to 10 days from the registration of death, although the timeframe can vary depending on crematorium availability, paperwork being completed, and your family’s wishes. If you would prefer more time, arrangements can often be adapted to suit your circumstances.

We offer a wide range of memorial options for those arranging a cremation now or planning their own memorial in advance. Our on-site memorial options at North Hertfordshire Memorial Park & Crematorium include avenue trees, memorial bird baths, benches, memorial plaques, and many more choices that can be placed in the peaceful memorial park allowing you to create a personal and meaningful tribute. When we lose someone special, we spend a lot of time thinking about and organising the funeral, however the time that passes afterwards can sometimes be the hardest. Our crematoria teams, especially our groundsmen who tend the gardens and take special care of the memorials are there to support for weeks, months and years after.
