Chapel and facilities

The chapel seats up to 90 mourners, with external speakers provided so that anyone who has to gather outside at a large, full-capacity funeral can still follow the service. A loop system helps mourners with hearing difficulties, and the chapel is wheelchair accessible. Public toilets are located to the left of the main cemetery entrance, and water taps are provided around the grounds for visitors.

Webcasting and recording of services can be arranged on request for an additional fee, letting family and friends who cannot attend in person watch live or view a recording afterwards.
