The Chapel
The Crematorium chapel/ceremony hall has seating for 94 people downstairs and 36 people in the gallery. There is also standing room in the entrance hall. Within the Chapel there are fresh flowers on display and two further silk displays. All are in white and green.
There are two service times available at 9.00 and 9.30 which are thirty minutes and are at a reduced fee.
From Monday to Friday services take place at forty minute intervals from 10am to 4.40 pm. The forty minutes includes the time it takes for to people to takes their seats in the chapel and to leave the chapel.
We advise people to have a double service time (80 minutes) if for example you are expecting a large number of people to attend (over 75 people) and when there is likely to be many personal tributes, several pieces of music and/or hymns. The officiant, who is taking your service and/or the Funeral Director can advise you. Please be mindful if your service overruns it has an impact on all services following that day, which can cause upset to other bereaved families.
Longer service times may also be arranged. If this is required, please speak to your Funeral Director or a member of our staff.
Saturday and Sunday service times may also be available. This will depend on the availability of staff. However, most requests can usually be met. We do not offer services on bank holidays.
