The Funeral Cremation Service available across Nottinghamshire & Derbyshire

How long is a cremation service?

All of the above crematoria offer a Chapel time of up to around 35 – 40 minutes. This is usually sufficient for a cremation service led by either a religious minister or an independent celebrant. However, if you would like longer for the service, we can book two concurrent time-slots at the crematorium.

Alternatively, some families choose for the funeral service to be held in a different venue, such as a local church. If so, the service at the crematorium would take the form of a short committal – either attended by close family only or open to all who may wish to attend. Traditionally, this would take place after the funeral service in the church or chapel, although another option some families choose is for the family to attend the committal service first, and then hold a Service of Thanksgiving afterwards. Some families choose to hold the funeral service and committal in church, taking the coffin to the crematorium without the family present.

After a cremation, cremation ashes can be scattered on the crematorium grounds. Alternatively, we can collect them from the crematorium and either return them to the family for a private scattering or arrange for a burial in a local churchyard or cemetery. We offer other options for keeping cremated remains here.

Your Funeral Arranger will ask you what you would like to happen with the cremated remains. However, if you are not ready to make that decision, we can hold them at our premises until you have made your choice.
