Choosing the right place for your farewell
Choosing where your loved one will rest - or where the ceremony will be held - can be deeply personal. We're here to guide you, offering clear descriptions, practical advice and heartfelt insight.
Choosing what's right for you
- Cremation vs Burial - each venue offers different options for memorials, from rose bushes and wall tablets to a Book of Remembrance and memorial trees.
- Service length - Chapens can typically be booked for 30-45 minutes, but some venues only offer 20 minutes.
- Accessibility - the venues offer features such as hearing loops, disabled access, and parking.
- Ceremony type - most offer multi-faith flexibility and webcasting for distant loved ones.
