Forest Park Crematorium is now a funeral SuperVenue

Forest Park Cemetery & Crematorium has re-opened as a funeral SuperVenue, offering bereaved families the chance to personalise their loved ones’ service to unprecedented levels.

The chapel temporarily closed last month to enable it to be renovated and fitted with state-of-the-art technology that allows funerals to become more uniquely personal than ever before.

From now on, mourners attending services at Forest Park can be greeted by their loved one’s name and a cherished photo displayed on an external welcome screen, setting the tone for the service.

Inside the chapel, a beautifully-cureated theme will be projected onto the entire front wall – canvas – accompanied by harmoniously synchronised soundscapes and co-ordinated lighting.

Forest Park Cemetery & Crematorium is part of Westerleigh Group, one of the UK’s largest independent owners and operators of crematoria and cemeteries, with 42 sites in England, Scotland and Wales, and which is trusted by more families than any other provider to deliver funerals for their loved ones.

All Westerleigh's locations are set within beautifully landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide peaceful places for people to visit and reflect, while benefitting from exceptional care and support from its teams.

Forest Park is one of a growing number of Westerleigh crematoria to become a SuperVenue.

Manager Darren Dowd said: “Research recently commissioned by Westerleigh Group revealed that 92% of respondents said that having a personalised service is important, so we are proud to be able to offer the bereaved the opportunity to tailor a funeral to be more specifically unique to the individual being honoured than ever before.

“The feedback received from our SuperVenues already operating in other parts of the country has been extremely positive, and I look forward to supporting the bereaved near and further afield to have the chance to create the most memorable tributes to their loved ones, here at Forest Park.

“Whether it’s a picturesque landscape, a seasonal background, or even a football stadium with the crest and in the colours of the deceased’s favourite team, there is a theme available which will reflect the lives and interests of most people, and make for a uniquely memorable celebration of their life.

“In recognition of varied cultural and spiritual traditions of the communities living near Forest Park Crematorium, a wide range of religious symbols is available for incorporating into the service, too.”
