Bretby Crematorium
Bretby Crematorium, located in Derbyshire, stands out as an environmentally conscious woodland crematorium, offering a unique and eco-friendly approach to funeral services. The site features two purpose-built chapels—Carnarvon Chapel, accommodating around 150, and Anglesey Chapel, suited for more intimate gatherings of approximately 50.
Both chapels are equipped with cutting-edge sound systems and television screens for personalised music choices and visual tributes. Modern technology also allows for webcasting, enabling global access to live or recorded services. The scenic woodland grounds, maintained in their natural state, offer a serene setting for scattering ashes, reflecting a growing trend in eco-conscious funerals.
Bretby Crematorium places a strong emphasis on preserving the natural environment, with no memorial stones or plaques. Families seeking a lasting memorial can opt for the Book of Remembrance, displayed onsite and online. The cremation process is handled on-site by trained staff, ensuring dignity and respect.
Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the Bretby Crematorium in order to discuss your plans. We’d be happy to help you do this, so feel free to get in touch with one of our personal advisers.
