The crematorium offers a modern and well-managed setting for funeral services, designed to support families from all backgrounds in a respectful and inclusive environment.

Location and surroundings

Shay Grange Crematorium sits to the north of Bradford and is easy to reach via Long Lane. The location suits families travelling from across the city and the wider West Yorkshire area. Clear access routes and practical on-site facilities help visitors arrive and leave with ease.

Chapel and service arrangements

Funeral services at Shay Grange usually take place on weekdays. Families often work with a funeral director to arrange service times, music and readings. The chapel layout supports both smaller services and larger gatherings while maintaining a calm and dignified atmosphere throughout.

Webcasting and service recordings

Shay Grange Crematorium provides secure webcasting through the Obitus system. This service allows family members and friends to watch a funeral live online from anywhere in the world. Families can also choose to make the webcast available for up to 28 days after the service.

Funeral directors arrange all webcasts and must place the order at least two working days before the service. Obitus supplies a unique username and password, which families can share with those who wish to view the service.

Families can also order a recording of the service through Obitus. Recordings are available on DVD, Blu-ray or USB memory stick and are delivered to the crematorium for collection by the chosen funeral director.

A fixed camera records the service from the rear of the chapel, focusing on the catafalque, lectern and front seating. Funeral directors must inform attendees when a service will be broadcast or recorded, and on-site notices help ensure everyone is aware.

Memorials and remembrance

Families can discuss arrangements for ashes and cremated remains with their funeral director or Bereavement Services. These options allow families to choose a form of remembrance that reflects personal, cultural or faith preferences.

Facilities and visitor information

The crematorium provides disabled parking and step-free access throughout the site. These features help ensure that all visitors can attend services comfortably and with confidence.
