Widnes Crematorium

Widnes Crematorium

Since 1959, Widnes Crematorium has been a pillar of support for bereaved families in Cheshire. The crematorium, accommodating 70 seated guests with additional standing space, provides a dignified setting for cremation funeral services, honouring the lives of loved ones. Service durations are typically 30 minutes, extendable with an additional fee. Cremations are conducted Monday to Thursday from 9 am to 3.30 pm and on Fridays from 9 am to 2 pm, with an option for Saturday services at an extra charge.

Following a recent refurbishment, the crematorium offers a contemporary music system featuring a diverse selection and webcasting services, enhancing the personalisation of funeral services. Post-cremation, the ashes can be interred within the cemetery, placed in an above-ground sanctum vault, or scattered in the tranquil memorial gardens.

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