Mintlyn Crematorium
The Mintlyn Crematorium, inaugurated in 1980, is situated on a spacious seventeen-acre site at Lynn Road, just 3 miles from the centre of King's Lynn near the A149 King's Lynn bypass.
The chapel, accommodating approximately 100 individuals, boasts a state-of-the-art Wesley Music System. This system, utilising bespoke mp3 software, allows the chapel's speaker system to play any officially recorded piece of music. With wheelchair-friendly single-level access and available disabled toilet facilities, the chapel ensures inclusivity. Additionally, an induction loop system benefits those with hearing aids.
The Gardens of Remembrance feature a blend of informal woodlands, lawned areas, and a formal section with memorial kerb plates and trees, providing diverse spaces for contemplation. A Columbarium, housing cremated remains in vaults with inscribed granite tablets, is positioned near the main building. Certain areas are managed as conservation zones, fostering wildlife and various wildflowers.
Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the Mintlyn 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.
