Services And Facilities
Harbour View is a unique funeral service; it is a crematorium, a funeral home and a woodland burial ground with all the options that you would expect to find in such places. As such the range of facilities we offer is considerable. These are grouped together in the sections listed below.
The ceremony halls, or service chapels, are where we hold the funeral services. We have three ceremony halls and each of them is available for services associated with funerals that are cremation or burial.

READ MOREWe refer to Harbour View as a woodland burial ground, but this is a term without an exact definition and perhaps requires some further description. In essence, a woodland burial is no different from any other burial in that a person who has died, whether it be their body or their cremated remains, is interred into the ground.
READ MOREAfter a funeral, families often like to entertain their friends with some refreshments. This is an opportunity to relax and to remember the person who has died in a less formal way than during the funeral service. These events are often referred to as wakes.
