Services & facilities
We promise to give you the best end of life care, support and experience with a compassionate and ethical approach. Whether you’re arranging a funeral now or planning for the future, we’ll give you the time, understanding and respect to ensure a fitting tribute.
With extensive knowledge of the grounds, we are happy to show you around and talk through the options available to you.
Our facilities include the modern Service hall set in landscaped memorial gardens, against a backdrop of established woodland, offering an attractive and peaceful setting for funeral services or time for reflection. The Service hall can seat approximately 95 people (or 105 people standing*) and boasts a state-of-the-art media system including music, webcasting, recording and visual life tributes.
In addition we have a private arrangement room, free-onsite parking and restrooms.
*Further numbers can be accommodated by opening the doors to the foyer and porte-cochere, which both feature relay speakers allowing up to 200 people (approximately) to hear the service and stay dry in inclement weather.
Music and visual tributes at the funeral
The music played at the funeral is an important choice and for many it remains an abiding memory.
Music does not have to be limited to classical pieces or a hymn. Favourite pop songs, musicals and even music recorded by a family member can help personalise the funeral service.
All forms of live music are welcome with vocals able to be transmitted via our high-quality Bose sound system.
Media system
East Devon Crematorium has joined tradition with technology using the Wesley Media System, providing an extensive music library with multimedia screens in the Service hall. The state of the art system provides video/audio playback, recording and live webcasting facilities.
The Wesley Media library covers all music styles and genres. Wesley Media can help you in selecting an appropriate track and can even arrange recordings of personal performances or very old recordings to be placed on the system.
Audio/visual recording of services
The funeral service can be recorded and supplied onto a professionally edited disc, usb or downloadable link as a personal keepsake.
Holding pictures on screen
A special picture of your loved one can be displayed on screen during the service, personalising the funeral in a very memorable way. Alternatively you may wish to use an image from our library, ranging from national flags to soft landscape scenes.
Visual life tribute
A visual life tribute adds an extremely personal touch to the funeral. A combination of family photos, images and video of your loved one can be overlaid with favourite music from the Wesley Media library to play on screen during the service.
Web-casting of services
A live broadcast of the service can be transmitted securely over the internet to invited guests, allowing absent family and friends to view the service from anywhere in the world.
Webcast audio and video images can also be recorded and supplied onto a professionally edited disc/usb to share with family and friends.
