North Wiltshire Crematorium has re-opened as a funeral ‘SuperVenue’, offering bereaved families the chance to personalise their loved one’s service to unprecedented levels.

The crematorium temporarily closed last month for two weeks, during which its chapel was renovated and equipped with state-of-the-art technology that enables funerals to be more uniquely personal than ever before.

Manager Loraine Beckinsale said: “We are proud to be able to offer the opportunity to personalise funerals to unprecedented levels to our bereaved communities.

“The feedback received from Westerleigh Group’s 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.

“Whether it’s a waterfall or a seasonal background, or even a football stadium, there is a wide range of canvas themes and choices available, with many options to tailor the displays to be specifically relevant to the individual being honoured.”

North Wiltshire 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.

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.

North Wiltshire Crematorium is one of a growing number of Westerleigh crematoria to become a funeral SuperVenue.

Mourners attending a service there can now be greeted by their loved one’s name and cherished photo displayed on an external welcome screen, setting the tone for the service ahead.

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

There is a range of canvas themes for bereaved families to choose from to reflect the life of the person being remembered.
