The funeral may begin with a religious ceremony in a church or perhaps a non-religious ceremony at another location away from the Crematorium. Alternatively the whole ceremony may be in the Crematorium chapel. Usually a twenty to thirty minute service is the maximum available, although an additional time can be booked at an extra cost.

If you are making your own way to the Crematorium please allow yourself plenty of time. Often the family will follow behind the coffin as it is borne into the chapel. And you may prefer to request that the coffin should remain on view in the Chapel until you have left.

In the UK about 75% of funerals involve cremation. Cremation is generally cheaper. Cremations are carried out one at a time and the cremated remains, 'ash' which consists of crushed dried desiccated bone fragments, are collected before the next coffin is introduced into the cremator.

The crematoria in our area require 4 hours to complete the process.

You are able to collect the cremated remains the next working day, following the funeral.

Cremated remains can be scattered in the Garden of Remembrance at the crematorium, strewn (poured under a turf), buried loose or in an urn or casket in a grave or taken away by the family.

All cremations are carried out individually to a strict Code of Practice. Some Crematoria are unable to accept coffins above specific dimensions. If this occurs we will advise you of the alternatives.
