Funeral Venues: Where Can You Hold A Funeral Service?

A Guide to Funeral Venues

Below, Matthew Reynolds, funeral director for our Crownhill branch in Plymouth, answers the following question about funeral venues:

Where can you hold a funeral service?

Traditionally, a funeral service will be held at a church, a crematorium ceremony room, or a cemetery chapel; this has been the norm for hundreds of years.

With the ever-changing ways people wish a funeral service to be conducted, loved ones’ families are looking for more options for where a service can be held.

In the more recent past, Funeral Directors have provided the option of having a funeral service within their premises in a purpose-made chapel. Four of our premises can accommodate a small, intimate service within our own service chapel:

Tavistock
Newton Abbot
Plymstock
Callington

A lot more venues are becoming available to hold a service within the local community.

At Walter C. Parson, we have had the privilege of working with various venues across the communities we serve. Some of these venues are;

Boringdon Park Golf Club – Plymouth
Weston Mill Oak Villa Sports and Community Hub – Plymouth
The Future Inn Hotel – Plymouth
Devonport Guildhall – Plymouth
Churston Manor – Brixham
The Tennis and Squash Club – Newton Abbot
Plymouth Albion Rugby Club – Plymouth

With families choosing to celebrate the life of a loved one, choosing a venue that can provide a service within the local community before or after an interment or cremation is becoming increasingly popular. Most of these venues will also be able to hold a gathering afterwards, meaning travelling to different venues is reduced, and you spend more time celebrating and remembering the life of the person who has brought you all together.
