Set within a tranquil memorial park, the crematorium provides cremation and funeral services in calm surroundings, with beautifully landscaped gardens and open countryside views helping to create a soothing atmosphere. The chapel is bright, modern and welcoming, providing a dignified space where families can gather to honour a life and share meaningful tributes.
The chapel includes comfortable seating for guests, and services are usually arranged in one-hour time slots, giving families the time, privacy and space needed to reflect and remember.
Where needed, service times can be extended on request. Services may also be available outside standard opening 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.
When someone has just passed away, it can feel overwhelming. Our role is to make things as straightforward as possible, while caring for your loved one with dignity and respect.
We believe a funeral should reflect the life and character of the individual. We will work with you to arrange a farewell that feels appropriate, whether that means a small family-led ceremony, a more traditional service, or a direct cremation without a service.
Arrange a funeral 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 provide a variety of options, from a straightforward cremation with an intimate gathering of close family and friends to a larger celebration of life. Each service can be tailored to suit your wishes and budget. Additional elements such as a hearse, limousine, or officiant can be included if required.
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.
Planning ahead with a prepaid funeral plan allows you to set out your wishes and cover the costs in advance, offering reassurance and peace of mind for you and your family.
We provide a selection of prepaid plans to suit a range of preferences and budgets. Whether you want a full service or a simple unattended direct cremation, your instructions will be carefully documented and honoured in the future.
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 personalised to reflect your wishes, including options for a hearse, limousines, music, and flowers. The ceremony may be led by family members, or you can choose to include an officiant within your 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.
