Great Glen Crematorium

Great Glen Crematorium

Just southwest of Leicester, Great Glen Crematorium seamlessly integrates modern facilities into the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside. With a design that harmonises with its environment, the crematorium offers a serene and respectful space for a variety of funeral services.

Accommodating religious ceremonies, non-religious services, and celebrations of life, the crematorium allocates up to 60 minutes for ceremonies in its chapel. Funerals can be arranged on weekdays, with the option for Saturday services, subject to an additional fee and by request.

The light and airy chapel, accommodating up to 100 mourners with ample standing room, ensures a peaceful setting. For larger gatherings, the service can be relayed to a covered area outside. Equipped with a Wesley music system, a traditional organ, and a tribute screen for photo slideshows, the chapel provides a range of musical and visual elements for personalised services.

Beyond the chapel, Great Glen Crematorium embraces modern technology, offering DVD and audio recording, as well as webcasting facilities for remote mourners. With an induction loop for the hard of hearing and wheelchair accessibility, the crematorium strives to ensure inclusivity. The Garden of Remembrance adds a touch of serenity, providing various options for memorialising loved ones, including memorial masonry and living tributes like shrubs and flowerbeds. Great Glen Crematorium stands as a compassionate and modern facility, committed to honouring the diverse needs and preferences of those seeking a respectful farewell for their loved ones.
