What is a chapel funeral service?

A chapel funeral service is a farewell held in a dedicated chapel rather than a church or large hall. Our chapel in Riverwood seats around 25 to 30 people, which makes it ideal for families who want an intimate, personal gathering without the expense or formality of a large venue.

‍

It suits religious and non-religious families alike, and we coordinate everything, from the celebrant or priest to the order of service, so the day feels calm and cared for.

A personal farewell, arranged with care

 In our chapel there is room for the readings, the music and the memories that made your loved one who they were, without anyone feeling lost in a large, echoing room.

We will help you shape the service, whether that means a religious ceremony, a celebrant-led farewell, or something entirely your own.

A cremation can be part of a full funeral service, or a quiet, private farewell. Whichever you choose, your loved one receives the same care and respect from the people who look after them.
