Chapel interior

The Chapel

Our Chapel provides a non-denominational setting for pre-booked cremation and burial services. 

   

It is designed to seat 240 people and has inside standing room for an additional 40 people, with a portable microphone and external speakers to assist in catering for large gatherings.

 

An audio visual system including screen and projector provide basic facilities for playing presentations and recording services.  We recommend testing presentations prior to service. Contact the cemetery office to check when Chapel is available for the testing.     

 

By prior arrangement the service can be recorded. See our Fees and Charges for costs of these recordings

 

A modern piano/organ is available for use by the family at no extra cost.

 

If you wish to use these facilities and services please discuss them with your funeral director or call the staff at our administration office.

Crematoium Lounge

The Lounge

The Lounge is situated at the rear of the crematorium building and is suitable for a family committal or small funeral service as it accomodates approximately 20 to 30 people. 

 

The casket can be placed in the main room for the service or the smaller side room. This smaller room has doors to close off from the main area which can provide a sense of closure following the farewell.

 

As the Lounge opens onto a sheltered courtyard, an outdoor service is an option.

 

Music of choice can be played, however only audio recordings of the service is available in this facility. See our Fees and Charges for recording fees.

 

 

Bookings

The Chapel and The Lounge can be booked by the hour, or the half hour, for a full service, a committal or private family farewell. See Crematorium Services page for booking times and service type descriptions.
