How far in advance can we book a cremation service?

The booking diary opens a full 12 months ahead. In urgent situations we can usually secure a slot within 48–72 hours, provided statutory forms are complete and a medical referee is available.

What length of service slot is standard?

Each booking provides a 60 minute window, with 45 minutes allocated for the service itself and 15 minutes for arrival and departure. Families can double book for a 90 minute celebration of life featuring live music or extended tributes.

Can we livestream the funeral for relatives abroad?

Yes. The Obitus platform streams in HD and stores the recording for 28 days. Viewers receive a secure URL and password 24 hours before the funeral.

Are religious and non religious services equally supported?

Absolutely. The non denominational chapel welcomes Church of England, Catholic, Hindu, Sikh, Humanist and secular ceremonies. Movable lecterns and flexible seating allow tailored décor and ritual.

Is there a dress code at Huntingdon Crematorium?

Respectful attire is expected, but bright clothing is perfectly acceptable. We notify staff in advance if families plan a themed dress or sports colours.

Can children attend, and are prams allowed?

Yes. Pushchairs can access via flat thresholds, and a waiting room offers a calm space if little ones need a break during the funeral service.

What floral and multimedia options are available?

Loose stems may be placed on the coffin; larger arrangements line the aisle or rest on outside trestles before moving to the Garden of Remembrance. Photo slideshows and favourite songs can run on loop as mourners arrive.

When are ashes ready for collection?

Ashes are usually available within 48 hours. You may collect personally, request hand delivery or ask us to hold them until a later interment or scattering ceremony.

Is parking sufficient for large funerals?

Yes. Over 100 marked bays sit near the entrance, and an adjacent field opens for congregations exceeding 150. We coordinate marshals to guide traffic and maintain a dignified flow.

Does the chapel have curtains?

No. The design is curtain free. Families preferring a moment of privacy can request our discreet voile screens, which glide into place for the committal.
