Springwood Crematorium (Chapels)

Springwood Crematorium opened in 1975 and is operated by Liverpool City Council. It has two chapels, the Myrtle and Rosemary chapels, where services take place every 30 minutes. The crematorium is set within landscaped gardens that include a woodland area and a Baby Garden.

It also has a Garden of Remembrance and a Garden of Contemplation, with approximately 90 rose bed sections where ashes can be scattered. The Book of Remembrance room is located next to the Rosemary Chapel. Parking is available at both the Rosemary and Myrtle chapels. Cremation services cannot be delayed.

Families and celebrants who have used the crematorium at Springwood in Liverpool consistently describe the setting as quiet, scenic and well maintained, with the grounds providing a peaceful place for remembrance. A member of staff named Gary is thanked by a celebrant who recently conducted a service, singled out for his helpfulness during the arrangements. Several visitors remark on the calm atmosphere of the chapels and the dignity with which proceedings are carried out, a point that comes up often among those attending.

The conduct of staff during services is repeatedly praised as considerate and respectful, and the upkeep of the surrounding grounds is noted as a source of comfort to those visiting.

Even those attending in the saddest of circumstances acknowledge that the experience was handled as well as could be expected. The tranquillity of the location and the care shown by those working there emerge as the strongest recurring impressions among the families and officiants who have spent time at the crematorium.
