Our crematorium and memorial grounds
With over 60 years of service, Earlham Crematorium has become a trusted place to say goodbye. Set within three-and-a-half acres of carefully maintained grounds close to the heart of Norwich, this is a calm and welcoming space to come together, share memories and celebrate a life. Our accessible gardens feature native planting and sustainable memorial spaces, with a tranquil fishpond and our wildflower area – often visited by deer, hedgehogs, owls and butterflies.
A chapel for all faiths and beliefs
Our spacious chapel at Earlham Crematorium features a bespoke carved altar, a height-adjustable lectern and a vaulted ceiling with original roof beams. This is an accessible, welcoming space for up to 85 seated guests. To personalise the funeral service, we have a modern sound system to play music of your choice, and space for singers and musicians too.
