Our crematorium and memorial grounds
Dedicated in 1971 and sensitively refurbished in 2025, our chapel at Chichester Crematorium sits within seven acres of carefully maintained grounds at the foot of the South Downs. This is a bright, welcoming space to hold a funeral or memorial service, and say a personal goodbye. Our peaceful gardens of remembrance, home to deer, birds of prey and woodpeckers, offer a calm setting to gather, remember and reflect.
A chapel for all faiths and beliefs
Sensitively refurbished in 2025, the chapel at Chichester Crematorium is filled with natural light. There is comfortable seating for up to 79 guests, for intimate or larger funeral services. To personalise the service, we have a modern sound system which can play music of your choice. We also have an organ and space for singers and musicians, if you prefer.
