Our Private Garden Chapel

Welcome to The Garden Chapel – A Place for Quiet Goodbyes

We know that saying goodbye is deeply personal. Some families prefer a smaller, more private setting rather than a formal crematorium chapel or a large venue.

That’s why we created The Garden Chapel – a peaceful space where you can gather, reflect, and honour your loved one in your own way.

Our chapel is designed for intimate services, seating up to 20 guests in a warm and comforting environment. There are no time limits, so you can take all the time you need without feeling rushed. We also provide facilities to play music and share media tributes on a small screen, helping you create a service that feels truly personal.

Whether you’re planning a simple farewell or choosing a Direct Service but still want a moment to gather and remember, The Garden Chapel offers a gentle alternative that focuses on what matters most – family, memories, and love.

If you’d like to visit The Garden Chapel or talk about how it could be part of your arrangements, please get in touch with our friendly team. We’re here to help you create something meaningful.
