Crematorium Information
Grimsby Crematorium opened in 1954 and currently receives about 1800 funerals per year. The extensive grounds are laid to lawn, with a memorial garden, and many varieties of trees and shrubs.
There is car parking outside the grounds to the Crematorium, a waiting room with public toilets, and also disabled persons toilet facilities. There are no catering facilities.
The chapel has seating for approximately 144 mourners with a balcony with seating for approximately 23 mourners with further downstairs standing room for larger congregations. The chapel is provided for use by all faiths or non-religious groups as appropriate. There is live organ music to sing hymns, and cassette tape and CD facilities for listening to music.
There is an induction loop facility fitted to enable users of hearing aids to listen to the service more clearly. The speaker system extends to the foyer of the building so that the service can be relayed to mourners if the congregation is extra large.
Ministers or family members taking a service can make use of the vestry to prepare themselves beforehand.
Visitors may bring flowers to place in the Cloisters or the Book of Remembrance room at any time that we are open and (vases are provided for Book of Remembrance room only) or you may sit in quiet reflection or prayer in the Chapel, provided that a funeral service is not taking place. We regret that personal vases and artificial tributes are not permitted.
