Frequently Asked Questions

  • How far in advance can we book a service at Warren Hill Crematorium?

    The booking diary for Warren Hill Crematorium opens 12 months ahead, giving families a full choice of weekday and Saturday morning slots to suit their needs. For urgent arrangements, Regency Funeral Directors can usually secure a time within 48 to 72 hours once all statutory forms and approvals from the medical referee are complete. This allows families to plan in advance with peace of mind, or arrange timely farewells when unexpected loss occurs, ensuring a dignified and personally tailored service.

  • What length of service slot is standard?

    Warren Hill Crematorium offers 60-minute booking slots: 45 minutes for the service and 15 minutes for arrival and departure. For families wanting to include multiple live music pieces or extended eulogies, double bookings of 90 minutes are also available. This provides flexibility to create personalised and unhurried ceremonies, enabling families to honour their loved ones fully with time for reflection, readings, and tributes.

  • Is livestreaming available?

    Yes. The chapel uses the Obitus media system to livestream services in high definition. Family and friends unable to attend in person receive a secure URL and password 24 hours before the funeral to watch remotely. The recording remains online for 28 days, and downloadable MP4 copies can be requested. This ensures all loved ones can participate, no matter their location.

  • How do the dual subtitles work?

    The Edgar Newman Chapel at Warren Hill features dual 65-inch screens capable of displaying subtitles, perfect for bilingual services or guests with hearing loss. Hymns or scripts can be shown in English and a second language, or in large text for deaf viewers. Subtitle files are uploaded ahead of the service and tested to ensure clarity, enhancing accessibility and inclusion for all.

  • Is the chapel suitable for all faiths and none?

    Absolutely. The chapel features neutral décor and offers movable lecterns, candles, and portable religious symbols, making it suitable for multi-faith, single-faith, Humanist, or secular ceremonies. The crematorium team works closely with families and officiants to accommodate a wide range of rituals, ensuring that each service is inclusive and fitting to the beliefs and wishes of the deceased and their loved ones.

  • Can children attend, and are prams allowed?

    Children are welcome at Warren Hill Crematorium. The chapel and grounds have flat thresholds that easily accommodate pushchairs and prams. The Book of Remembrance room provides space for breaks if children need to step away from the service. To help young guests engage gently, colouring packs and memory box activities are available. This thoughtful provision supports families attending services with children of all ages.

  • How is parking handled for very large funerals?

    When attendance exceeds 190 vehicles, both car parks at Warren Hill Crematorium open simultaneously. A conductor coordinates with the superintendent to deploy marshals who guide traffic safely and efficiently, ensuring a dignified arrival for all guests. Coach drop-off points are located beside the chapel entrance, facilitating easy access for group transport. This careful organisation reduces stress and helps the day run smoothly.

  • Can ashes be scattered elsewhere if we hold the funeral here?

    Yes, families often opt to scatter ashes in private gardens, woodland burial sites, or family graves following services at Warren Hill. The crematorium provides certified scatter tubes and biodegradable urns to facilitate eco-friendly choices. We can also assist in arranging separate committal or scattering ceremonies at venues of your choice to ensure a meaningful and personalised tribute in line with your wishes.
