Due to its location, the surroundings of the crematorium are picturesque and tranquil.  The road leading to the crematorium is lined with lime trees and flowers beds boasting beautiful flowers all year round with a spectacular display of bulbs in Spring.

The chapel is over 100 years old and due to it’s age and nature is an attractive building to hold services with high ceilings, beams and stained glass windows.

The chapel can seat up to 80 guests with standing room in the aisles and glass annex. Our sound system plays both within and outside the chapel this, along with a large display screen located at the rear of the chapel, ensures all mourners have access to the full service.

The Crematorium is available to everyone who wishes to use it and is currently used by families from Hyndburn, Rossendale, Ribble Valley, Pendle, Burnley, Blackburn and Bury.

Our services are deliberately set at 40 minute intervals to allow ample time to conduct a dignified service without compromise.
