Our facility caters for the needs of different communities and religions.
Our Services
We endeavour to provide all families with the best possible service throughout the whole process of bereavement.
The staff at Seven Hills are here to help with regards to either the funeral service itself or memorials. We will be able to guide you through what is undoubtedly a difficult time.
Our Aims
Our aim is to allow families to bid a meaningful farewell to someone who has been dear to them. This means that we will do all we can to accommodate both traditional religious funeral services and other alternative forms of farewell, recognising that each funeral is a unique event to say good-bye to an individual, to be thankful for and to celebrate all they have meant to family and friends.
Facilities
The crematorium has a wide range of facilities which include: toilets, disabled toilets, baby changing unit, a hearing loop, over 200+ car parking spaces and an overspill from the Chapel into the waiting room where you can see and hear the service on the screen provided.
Funeral Services
Each service is allocated a maximum of 30 minutes chapel time, services are at 45-minute intervals throughout the day from 8:15am until 4:30pm. Additional chapel time can be booked which is especially beneficial where a larger attendance is expected. Fees include use of the chapel, music supplied by Obitus, medical referee’s fee, government environmental surcharge, bio-urn, certificate of cremation or interment of cremated remains in the grounds. An organist can also be provided at an additional cost.
There is a reduced charge for a no service funeral at 8:15 and 9:00 where the coffin is brought through the chapel for final committal or direct cremation can also be arranged through your funeral director. We offer a special premium service on Saturday which provides exclusive use of the chapel and flower court for up to two hours. This is especially suited to large gatherings or when the family wishes to have quality time in a private setting. The service can be personalised with a single picture to be displayed on the screen in the chapel and a professional photo tribute of up to 25 pictures, both of which are included in the price.Table of Fees
