A simple, personal opportunity to say goodbye

At Houghtons, we understand that every family has different wishes when saying goodbye to someone they love.

Our Time To Say Goodbye Cremation Service provides an opportunity for a small number of family members and close friends to attend Walton Lea Crematorium, see their loved one arrive and spend a quiet moment together before the cremation.

A simple and intimate opportunity for family and friends to attend.

The service allows a maximum of 20 people and provides approximately 15 minutes for everyone to enter, sit together, reflect and then leave the chapel into the floral tribute area.

Your service includes

• A hearse to meet your loved ones and friends at Walton Lea Crematorium

• Bringing your loved into our care during normal office hours from at home or in a care setting such as a hospital, care home or hospice

• Dressing your loved one in what you would like them to be dressed in

• A nice simple coffin of our standard size with options to upgrade to something more individual

• All necessary attendance and administration

• Your loved one's name will be displayed on the chapel list at Walton Lea

• A floral tribute card displayed in the flower bay

• You will be able to choose two pieces of music which we will arrange for you

  • One piece of music as you enter the Chapel

  • One piece of music as you leave

• Time for family and friends to sit quietly and reflect

• Walton Lea Cremation fee and Chapel hire is also included so nothing is an unexpected cost for you

• Your loved one's ashes/cremated remains would be ready for collection from us within 7 days of the cremation

A quiet moment to remember
