Facilities and Setting
The funeral home is suitable for both public and private use and can accommodate:
Reposing in a quiet, respectful setting
Private family time
Gatherings for visitors
Civil and non-religious services in the Committal Chapel
Offering reposing in more than one location can help families balance personal wishes with practical considerations, allowing extended family and friends to pay their respects in a way that suits them.
Committal Chapel
Our Committal Chapel provides an alternative venue for families who do not wish to have a religious ceremony or who would prefer not to travel to a crematorium. It is suitable for civil funerals and Celebration of Life services, offering a flexible and practical option for families, and holds up to 60 people.
Live web streaming can be arranged for family and friends who are unable to attend in person.
