Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance can we book a service at Fenland Crematorium?
The booking diary for Fenland Crematorium opens 12 months in advance, giving families plenty of time to secure preferred dates, including weekday and Saturday slots. If you need to arrange a service urgently, our team can usually confirm a booking within 48 hours once all statutory paperwork and the medical referee’s sign-off are complete. Early booking also helps us reserve overflow parking and additional media time for peaceful, unhurried arrangements. This flexibility allows families to plan with reassurance and focus on honouring their loved one’s memory.
Are Saturday services really the same price as weekdays?
Yes, Saturday morning services (up to noon) at Fenland Crematorium are offered at the same price as weekday services when booked through our Regency Saver Plan. This option provides added convenience for families who need weekend availability without extra cost. However, Saturday afternoon and Sunday services do incur a supplemental charge determined by the crematorium. Our team can provide detailed pricing and help you understand the best booking options to suit your family’s needs and budget.
What length of service slot is standard?
A standard booking at Fenland Crematorium allows 45 minutes: 30 minutes for the service itself and 15 minutes for arrival and departure. For families wishing to hold a more extended farewell, such as a celebration of life with live music or multiple eulogies, a double booking of 90 minutes can be arranged. This approach ensures the service can be as personal and heartfelt as you wish, without feeling rushed, allowing everyone to pay their respects in a meaningful and dignified manner.
Is livestreaming available?
Absolutely. Fenland Crematorium uses the Obitus media system to provide high-definition livestreaming of funeral services. Family and friends who cannot attend in person will receive a secure URL and password 24 hours before the ceremony to watch live. The recording remains available online for 28 days, and downloadable MP4 copies can be requested. The system automatically adjusts video quality to accommodate varying internet connections, ensuring a smooth viewing experience wherever your loved ones may be
Is the chapel suitable for all faiths and none?

Movable religious symbols, a lectern, and portable candles provide adaptable options for different customs and rituals. The crematorium team works closely with families and celebrants to ensure every service respects the beliefs or personal wishes of the family, creating a respectful and inclusive environment for all.
Can children attend, and are prams allowed?

There is a small foyer near the chapel entrance where children and families can take a break if needed. To help children engage gently with the service, colouring packs and memory box activities can be provided. We understand that funerals bring families together in all their diversity, and we aim to make the experience as comfortable as possible for visitors of every age.
How is parking handled for very large funerals?
Fenland Crematorium has ample parking, with over 100 marked bays in the main car park and an overflow meadow for additional vehicles.

This organisation helps reduce any potential stress, allowing families and mourners to focus on commemorating their loved one.
