Wilford Hill Crematorium
Wilford Hill has two Chapels available for use; the Main Chapel and the West Chapel. Both chapels have some beautiful stained glass windows, with the Main Chapel in particular depicting the changing of the seasons. Both Chapels cater to all denominations with religious symbols either being displayed or removed according to the request of those arranging the service.
The wonderfully spacious Main Chapel can seat 80 people and the more traditional West Chapel with its wooden beamed ceiling able to seat 55 with additional standing room available in both. There is an integrated hearing loop system within both Chapels allowing everyone to hear and experience the funeral service.
The Main Chapel operates on the hour time slot, with the West Chapel being on the 30 minute time slot which allows a 40 minute service to be taken place in either chapel simultaneously.
Comfortable seating is available in both Chapels with web camera facilities, large screens for visual tributes as well a sophisticated music system available for us with a modern loudspeaker system installed in each chapel.
We also have dedicated Vestry areas attached to each Chapel for use of the person leading the service.
Within the Crematorium you will find restroom facilities and two waiting areas which offers a comfortable space to wait with views across the city.
Free parking is provided in different locations across the Cemetery; off Loughborough Road at the left to the entrance to Southern Cemetery, to the rear of the Crematorium (where disabled spaces are also available) and with an overflow area towards the entrance to the Woodland Walk.
Flower Bays
Following the service, you will be led directly into the Flower Bays where all floral tributes are displayed and where they will stay for 7 days following the funeral.
Northern Chapel
A very traditional chapel, with pews and wooden ceiling beams on display, can accommodate up to 60 people with additional standing room also available. Music can be played using the CD player or the organ.
