We are delighted to be only the second crematorium in the world and the only crematorium in the local area to be able to offer inclusive canvas walls in our Riverview chapel. It's fantastic that we are able to incorporate local landmarks when a family are celebrating the life of a loved one. We have the option of local landmark Wat Tyler country park being available as a canvas wall when a loved one's service takes place in our Riverview chapel. Each funeral is individual and unique to that individual, no funeral is the same and we will always accommodate and encourage personalisation however big or small.

Please contact us on 01268584411 for any queries regarding this or if you would like to visit and see all the options available, alternatively please speak to your local Funeral Director for additional information.

We have a range of memorials available at Maldon Fields. This is the Orchard where trees and family gardens are ready for families to dedicate to their loved one. It’s lovely to see the planting carried out by families around their trees.
