Had my dads funeral here 15/09/2025. Place is beautiful the grounds everything, was just so tranquil, car park is decent enough sized the only thing i would recommend is the council at least give them funds to resurface the overflow car park other than that the grounds can't be faulted.
The staff are friendly about 4 days after my dads funeral I went to collect his ashes to bring him home, even shook the guys hand when he gave me my dad back (don't think many actually shake their hand but its someone who's looked after my loved one until I could bring him home so why not?) They also send a letter out to the next of kin before/after the funeral process the one before was basically a thank you for choosing & very informative information of the facilities within the crematorium & the letter after was again a thank you but also had some ideas of memorials & personalised items incase your sitting on the fence of what to do with the ashes (some may find that annoying but personally I found it helpful). Again beautiful place & staff are great.

Ladies toilet facility's were filthy, grime round dink ant taps no hand soap no hand gell hand drier not working properly.
Skirting round the toilet floor were also filthy
Radiator was a dirty peace of rust.
I was disgusted as a guest at the amount of neglect and dirt where people congregate in large crowds.
Please do something before there's an outbreak of Ecoli covid or viral infections.
