Good evening everyone,

We would just like to remind you that we offer our own small private chapel for a service which can either be followed the next day by a direct cremation service, a full cremation service or a buiral service at the cemetery or a church yard. This can be either with a funeral celebrant, religious minister or just family as a private time of reflection.
