Location & Travel Tips
Warren Hill Crematorium lies off Rothwell Road (A14 Junction 7), roughly five minutes from Kettering town centre, 25 minutes from Northampton and 40 minutes from Kimbolton.
Public transport: Stagecoach route X4 stops on Rothwell Road; it’s a level five‑minute walk to the chapel entrance.
Procession advice: Peak‑hour queues can form at the A14 junction. Our funeral directors plan alternative routes via the A6003 and the A43 to keep the cortege moving smoothly.
How We Support Families Here
Arrival & seating assurance – Reserved pews for close family and priority parking bays mean loved ones settle quickly, while ushers guide other guests to seats or standing areas.
Media peace of mind – A Regency technician uploads tribute videos, sets up subtitles if required and tests sound levels 45 minutes before the service, ensuring flawless playback.
Personal touches – From horse‑drawn hearses along the tree‑lined drive to biodegradable balloons released in the memorial lawn (by permission), we liaise with chapel staff to honour every detail.
Aftercare & memorials – Our After a Loss Hub guides families through ashes collection, scatter‑lawn bookings and memorial tree dedications.
Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance can we book a service at Warren Hill Crematorium?
The diary opens 12 months ahead, offering full choice of weekday and Saturday morning slots. For urgent arrangements, Regency can usually secure a time within 48–72 hours once statutory forms and the medical referee sign off are complete.
What length of service slot is standard?
A single booking provides a 60 minute window: 45 minutes inside the chapel and 15 minutes for arrival and departure. Families wanting multiple live music pieces or extended eulogies can double book for a 90 minute celebration of life.
Is livestreaming available?
Yes. The Obitus system streams in HD and stores the recording for 28 days. Viewers receive a secure URL and password 24 hours before the funeral. A downloadable MP4 is available on request.
How do the dual subtitles work?
Scripts or hymns can appear on both chapel screens in English and a second language—or in large type English for deaf guests. We upload subtitle files in advance and test readability before the service.
Is the chapel suitable for all faiths and none?
Absolutely. The neutral décor welcomes multi faith, single faith and Humanist ceremonies. Movable lecterns, candles and portable symbols allow flexible ritual.
Can children attend, and are prams allowed?
Pushchairs navigate flat thresholds easily, and the Book of Remembrance room offers space for a break if needed. We provide colouring packs or memory box activities to help children engage gently with the ceremony.
How is parking handled for very large funerals?
Two car parks open simultaneously when attendance exceeds 190 vehicles. Our conductor liaises with the superintendent to deploy marshals and guide traffic, ensuring a dignified arrival.
Can ashes be scattered elsewhere if we hold the funeral here?
Yes. Families often choose private garden scatterings, woodland burials or interment in a family grave. We provide certified scatter tubes and can arrange a separate committal service at your chosen location.
What memorial options are available in the remembrance gardens?
Granite tablets, memorial benches, tree dedications and seasonal planting beds offer lasting tributes. A Memorial Advisor guides families through choices.
What ongoing support does Regency offer after the funeral?
Our relationship continues with guidance on paperwork, probate, memorial choices and grief support resources. Regular coffee mornings near our funeral home provide companionship and shared remembrance.
