Our crematorium and memorial grounds
Officially opened in 2009 by the Right Reverend J Gladwin, Bishop of Chelmsford, our crematorium has become a trusted place for a meaningful, personal funeral. Our modern chapel is set within thoughtfully landscaped grounds which blend seamlessly with the surrounding countryside. This is a welcoming place to visit throughout the year, for funeral services and memorials or quiet moments of remembrance.
A chapel for all faiths and beliefs
Our modern chapel at Three Counties Crematorium offers a warm welcoming space to gather. There is comfortable seating for up to 108 guests and standing room for those planning a larger funeral service. To personalise the service with music we have a traditional organ, and state-of-the-art facilities to play pre-recorded music of your choice. We have space for singers and musicians too.
