A peaceful space to remember

Every family path is unique and each farewell should reflect the wishes of those who hold their loved one dear. Our Intimate Cremation Service gives a close circle of family and friends the chance to gather at Walton Lea Crematorium, walk alongside their loved one and share a fully led service.

The service welcomes a maximum of 40 people and provides 30 minutes inside the chapel, allowing time for everyone to enter, sit comfortably, reflect and gently leave into the floral tribute area. It is shaped for families who want a deeply meaningful, fully led service without the scale or length of a large, traditional funeral.

What is included

  • A hearse to meet your family and friends at Walton Lea Crematorium
  • Bringing your loved one into our care during normal office hours, from home or a care setting such as a hospital, care home or hospice
  • Dressing your loved one and all care while in our care
  • An elegant, simple coffin of our standard size
  • All necessary attendance and administration
  • Your loved one's name displayed on the chapel list at Walton Lea
  • A floral tribute card displayed in the flower bay where your flowers will rest after the service
  • Your choice of three pieces of music: one as you enter, one for reflection and one as you leave
  • A professional celebrant to prepare, guide and lead the chapel service on your behalf
  • The Walton Lea cremation fee and chapel hire, so nothing is an unexpected cost
  • Ashes ready for collection from us within 7 days of the cremation

Optional extras

You can hire the visual display to show photographs alongside your music for an additional £36. Personal flowers, keepsakes and any gathering after the service are separate.

Because this is a completely fixed-cost option, there are no hidden extras.
