Wigan Crematorium

Wigan Crematorium

Wigan Crematorium, serving the local community during times of loss, provides an ideal setting for arranging a meaningful cremation funeral for your beloved. The crematorium chapel offers modern amenities, including a plasma screen TV that can display photos or a slideshow during the service. 

Families have the freedom to select their preferred songs and hymns to be played during the service. Moreover, for additional charges, the service can be recorded and webcast live, allowing distant loved ones to participate remotely.

Cremations take place within 24 hours of the funeral service, with options for scattering ashes in a garden of remembrance, taking them home, or interring them in a chosen location. 

Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the Wigan 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.
