These pages are here to help you select the right venue for the funeral service. We will of course be happy to discuss your requirements with you, however you may find it helpful to review these pictures and their descriptions at your convenience. We can arrange a time to look more closely if you would like.
Vinters Park Crematorium is modern and comfortable. Recently redecorated and refurbished to a high standard. Everyone has a good view of proceedings. The Catafalque is central and the curtains, should you decide to use them, are visible in this picture, and close just in front of the coffin. This is a good chapel for family members to carry the coffin as there are no steps or low doors to negotiate. Arrangements for music are excellent and the chapel staff are extremely helpful. We enter via doors at the bottom of the picture and leave through the side doors (seen on the left here). The Chapel seats just over 80 mourners plus a small balcony where this picture has been taken from.
Below you will see there are seats on the very front left hand side, which are usually for family, along with the front rows on the right. As you can see it is a very comfortable and well maintained environment.
Services can be up to 45 minutes. Now this might sound like a long time, but remember you don’t have to use it all. Sometimes it is comforting to have a little elbow room between your family and the next. In this amount of time you don’t have to rush it, or even worse, not do something you later regret. Talk to us about what you want to do.
The main family seating area (below). Directly in front of the person or people taking the service. Vinters Park Crematorium has recently been refurbished and has a very calm and comfortable atmosphere.
The picture below is the view if you are taking the service yourself. This might sound daunting or just plain terrifying but families that do this, maybe assisted by our Funeral Director, do say afterwards that they feel they really had the service they wanted. Don’t just say “I couldn’t do that” You just need to talk to us, have a little confidence in yourself, and type it out. If you really can’t do it on the day, then we will read your words. Ask for Michael and I would be honoured to help you. (And you get us for free)
The Management at Vinters Park Crematorium were the first to allow us to place pictures on our website for which we are very grateful. Others have since agreed and their pictures will be included as soon as possible.
Finally my very grateful thanks to Craig, who will hate this, but I am hugely grateful.
