A terrifically peaceful place. There is a fairly large and very beautiful Eric Gill carved monument here, also. Gorgeous at this time of year.

Went to Dads funeral 💔 His wishes were his ashes to be scattered in the rose garden next to his num & dad [plot ] 7 but apparently it was full up Poor old Dad is now in the middle of nowhere no man's land only to be remembered basically by a plaque Unfortunately we were not advised to where his ashes were to be scattered The family should have been told this and i Keith his son would have got a proper urn to be remembered by so anyone would know the exact place God bless you Dad R.I.P

I am saddened that there is an extortionate charge for signing the rememberence book. Also the cost of putting a small name plaque in the area of scattered ashes is like stealing from the vulnerable. Shame on you.

Absolutely amazing service, I would highly recommend to anybody. Got to say a very special goodbye to my loved one. Thank you for everything.

Very professional in all that was provided. A bit chilly in the inside but good accoustics and plenty of space

Lovely cemetery and crematorium. The grounds are well kept and tidy. The road leading up to the crematorium is wide enough for parking one side and it is well looked after with no pot holes. Lovely and peaceful place to remince about your loved ones. There are burial plots and also remembrance stones.

Had a lovely walk around the area. Sat in the cemetery and there were lads gardening. Very lovely place to think and chill with a large park next door.
