Crematorium

Services take place in the chapel at Landican every 30 minutes. The chapel may be hired for a further 30 minute period if required.

The Crematorium has a selection of music available to be played at funeral services. Funeral Directors have copies of the catalogue. Alternatively it is possible for families to supply their own music in advance of the funeral. The Chapels also house Organs, which are available free of charge for use during the funeral service. During a funeral service it is optional to have the curtains drawn across the catafalque or left open. This instruction must be given to both the Funeral Director and Clergy members prior to the funeral taking place.

Following cremation, the remains are usually collected by the Funeral Director. If required the applicant may collect the remains, however, remains will not be given to any other person without the consent in writing of the applicant. The person collecting on behalf of the applicant must bring identification.

We provide areas in our Gardens where remains may be strewn free of charge, alternatively remains may be interred in a grave. Further details are available in the Cremation Guidance Notes section.

A range of memorials are available, further details are in the Memorials section. Floral tributes may be placed in the areas provided near to the Book of Remembrance Room.
