Beautiful Venues

Most people don’t realise that you can hold a funeral service at any location or venue in the UK. 


So it could be in your home or garden, a village hall or at a private venue such as a country house or barn.


The actual cremation still takes place at the crematorium and a burial takes place at the cemetery or other burial ground but the service can happen almost anywhere.

​

By separating the Service from the actual Cremation or Burial, families can have more time, more flexibility and a far more personal funeral that truly honours and reflects the life of the person who has died.


We have access to a wide range of beautiful venues in Kent & East Sussex where funeral services can be held. We've arranged funerals in all of these venues and many others.

​

Where these are not suitable, we are able to help find the perfect venue for you.
