Facilities and booking
A standard attended service allows 30 minutes in the chapel; families who need longer can book an extended, “double time” slot with 60 minutes in the chapel instead. Both include use of the Obitus music system. Source: Sandwell Council – crematorium price information.
Sandwell Valley Crematorium has a purpose-built, licensed wake facility on site – a peaceful, air-conditioned reception suite that can be booked for two hours after a service, catering for up to 80 guests with freshly prepared food and a licensed bar. It’s also on-site Café Crem coffee shop. The wake facility can be booked even if the funeral service itself was held elsewhere. Source: Sandwell Council – reception suite and wake facility.
