This combination of space and natural planting creates a tranquil environment for both services and return visits.

Chapel and facilities

Chapel style and capacity

The chapel is a modern, multi-faith space designed to accommodate larger funerals as well as more intimate gatherings.

It provides comfortable seating, a clear layout and a neutral décor that can be adapted for different beliefs and traditions.

This flexibility allows each service to feel personal.

Music, tributes and personalisation

A modern music system is available, offering a wide choice of hymns, classical pieces and contemporary songs.

Families can also arrange visual tributes such as photo presentations or recorded messages.

Accessibility and visitor comfort

The crematorium has step-free access, disabled parking bays close to the entrance, accessible toilets and a hearing loop installed in the chapel.

These facilities support visitors with mobility or hearing needs.

In addition, a waiting area and reception spaces provide somewhere quiet to gather before or after the service.

Memorial gardens and remembrance options

Thoughtfully designed grounds

The gardens of remembrance are laid out to create peaceful spaces for reflection.

Pathways and benches are positioned throughout the grounds so visitors can pause and spend time in quiet contemplation.

The landscaping is designed to provide interest and calm throughout the year.

Memorial choices

Families can choose from a variety of memorial options to create a lasting tribute.

These may include wall plaques, garden plaques, ashes plots, memorial trees or other personalised memorials within the grounds.

Types of service available

Traditional full service cremations

Many families choose a full service in the chapel, with time for music, readings, tributes and reflection.

Appointment times are planned to allow a smooth flow of services throughout the day.

Simpler or short services

Wyre Forest Crematorium can also support shorter or simpler services for those who prefer a modest approach.

These services still provide dignity and structure but may involve fewer elements or a smaller number of attendees.

Direct cremation

Direct cremation may be available for families who do not require a full attended service at the crematorium.

In these cases, cremation takes place without a traditional ceremony, and families may choose to hold a separate memorial, wake or celebration of life at another time or place.
