Chapel and facilities
The chapel seats 100 and is heated and air-conditioned, with screens for displaying photos and videos during a service. For larger congregations, the waiting area holds a further 100 people standing, who can watch the service on a large screen with sound via a hearing loop. The building has access for less able visitors, accessible toilets, and a speaker system throughout so no part of a service is missed. Source: Dignity – Bentley Crematorium and Cemetery.
Bentley has its own cemetery next to the crematorium, so families can arrange a burial after a chapel service on the same site. There’s ample parking, including accessible spaces. Source: Dignity – Bentley Crematorium and Cemetery.
The office and memorial office are open Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm. The grounds open 8am-5pm in winter and 8am-7pm in summer, and the Book of Remembrance can also be viewed online. Source: Dignity – Bentley Crematorium and Cemetery.
