Pentrebychan Crematorium – A Serene, Historic Setting for Respectful Farewells

About Pentrebychan Crematorium

Pentrebychan Crematorium offers a dignified, tranquil environment for families wishing to honour their loved ones.

Set on 40 acres of woodland and landscaped grounds on the outskirts of Wrexham, the crematorium lies within the historic grounds of the former Pentrebychan Hall.

This semi-rural setting combines natural beauty with calm seclusion, helping friends and family reflect and remember in peace.

Benefits of the Location

Convenient Location with Peaceful Surroundings

Pentrebychan lies just outside Wrexham city, close enough for easy access yet far enough to enjoy countryside tranquillity.

The grounds are enclosed by mature woodland, part of which includes a stretch of the historic earthwork Offa’s Dyke — adding heritage and a deep sense of place to the crematorium’s setting.

Clear directions from main roads, plus good transport links, make Pentrebychan a practical choice for families coming from Wrexham and surrounding areas.

A Natural and Reflective Setting

The 40-acre grounds include semi-natural woodland, water features, and wildlife habitats.

You may find heron, badgers, buzzards, ducks, owls and other wildlife around the woodland and pools — which many find comforting and grounding during difficult times.

There are four distinct gardens of remembrance for scattering ashes and remembering loved ones:

• The formal Walled Garden, set within the walls of the original hall grounds.

• The Wisteria Walk, a landscaped modern garden with rockery beds and lawn areas.

• The Lily Pool area, set amidst woodland and near a water feature — a tranquil spot surrounded by nature.

• The Daffodil Meadow, a more informal area with wildflowers, offering a gentle and natural resting place.

These thoughtful natural surroundings give families a variety of choices for remembrance, from formal gardens to peaceful woodland meadows.
