Lancaster & Morecambe Crematorium
Powder House Lane, Lancaster, Lancashire, LA2 6AD
Our crematorium and memorial grounds
For over 60 years, our crematorium has been a trusted place for generations of families to say goodbye. Our modern chapel has been sensitively refurbished to create a bright, welcoming space, where every detail has been designed to ensure that our guests feel supported and cared for. Proud gold award winners at the Northwest Britain in Bloom awards for the last 10 years, our grounds feature established flowering cherry trees, beautiful rose beds, wildflower areas and a recently planted orchard.
A chapel for all faiths and beliefs
Recently refurbished, our beautiful chapel at Lancaster & Morecambe Crematorium has comfortable modern seats, elegant lighting and views over the gardens. This is a bright, welcoming space with seating for up to 111 guests, plus standing room for larger funeral services. There is a screen to display photos during the service, and we can play pre-recorded music of your choice. There is also space for singers and musicians too.
