The chapel provides a welcoming, dignified environment with seating for up to 100 guests. The chapel is suitable for cremation, burial and memorial services, allowing families the flexibility to arrange a farewell that feels right for them. Within the memorial park, families can visit the Garden of Remembrance, a quiet space created for cremated remains where loved ones can visit.
Inside, the chapel includes a range of facilities designed to support meaningful and personalised tributes. These include a hearing loop for those with hearing difficulties, modern music systems with the option of live organ accompaniment, webcast streaming for those attending remotely, and screens for photo presentations or visual tributes.
Whether the service is religious or non-religious, it remains a deeply personal occasion. Waveney Memorial Park and Crematorium is committed to providing an atmosphere of care, dignity and compassion, ensuring every farewell is treated with sensitivity and respect.
Services are typically scheduled in one-hour slots, allowing time for guests to arrive, for the service to take place, and for families to say their goodbyes without feeling rushed. Where possible, service times can be extended on request, and services may also be arranged outside standard 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.
