Twilight services at West Berkshire Crematorium
West Berkshire Crematorium is expanding the funeral options it offers to local families by introducing new twilight services.
The bereaved can now book final farewells to their loved ones at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm from Monday to Friday, with a service of up to 40 minutes in the chapel.
West Berkshire Crematorium is part of Westerleigh Group, one of the UK’s largest independent owners and operators of crematoria and cemeteries, with 40 sites in England, Scotland, and Wales, all set within beautifully landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide peaceful places for people to visit and reflect.
Westerleigh Group prides itself on providing exceptional care to the bereaved, the standards of which are inspected by the Federation of Burial and Cremation Authorities (FBCA) in England and Wales and the Scottish Government.
Manager Loraine Beckinsale said: “We are always looking for ways to offer local families more choice when it comes to arranging funerals.
“Spring, Summer and early Autumn months should bring with them some beautiful twilight evenings, with the soothing backdrop of birdsong over our 10 acres of beautiful grounds which have been landscaped with more than 250 trees.
“We believe this could provide a comforting environment for a funeral.
“In addition, offering later services may help those with friends and relatives who want to pay their respects but have difficulty attending a daytime service because of other commitments.
“We pride ourselves on providing exceptional care, and part of that involves enabling families to create a uniquely personal funeral service as a final farewell to their loved one, and the opportunity to be able to choose a twilight service is just another way in which we provide more choice for those we support.
“Bereaved families can now request this service when making arrangements with their funeral director.”
