We are fortunate to have three crematoria in Cornwall, two of which are local to our Funeral Home.

All three have fully integrated music systems allowing virtually any music to be played. They are also able to offer live webcasts as well as audio and/or video recording should this be required.

Treswithian Downs Crematorium

Opened in 2010 and situated on the outskirts of Camborne; the Chapel can seat 96 people with room for a further 50 standing.

The chapel has a beautiful view across the valley, and Church Organ in addition to the inbuilt music system.

Penmount Crematorium

Opened in 1956 and situated on the outskirts of Truro. There are two chapels at Penmount:

Kernow Chapel, which can seat 60 people with some room for standing.

Trelawney Chapel, which can seat 100 people with room for an additional 100 under cover.

Glynn Valley Crematorium

Opened in 1989 and situated on the A38 just outside of Bodmin, the chapel has a stunning view across the Glynn Valley and seating for 56 plus some standing room.

There is also a Church Organ as well as the inbuilt music system.

There are a number of things to consider if you decide on a cremation:

• The service can take place in a church, chapel or other location prior to going to the Crematorium
• The funeral service can also be held at the Crematorium itself
• It can be less expensive than a burial
• You can scatter the ashes at a wide variety of locations, perhaps at the deceased's favourite spot
• You can bury the ashes
• You can keep the ashes in an urn
• There are many options for keepsakes to be made with some of the ashes

The main consideration if you require a burial is which cemetery to choose (if this has not already been decided by the deceased). Often people/families buy a burial plot but this is not always the case. We will help with all enquiries as to availability of burial plots at your chosen cemetery.

Cemeteries are owned either by the Church or the Council - in either case we will make all the necessary arrangements for you.

Here are some things to consider about burial:

• When deciding upon a grave plot you may consider reserving space for other members of your family so they can be buried nearby
• Maybe you already have a family grave or plot
• Woodland burials are now popular and are available nearby: Penwith Woodland Burial is a popular choice.
• The service can take place in a church, chapel or other location
• Following the burial you will need to decide if you want a memorial headstone; or if you are using a family grave whether you want a new inscription added to an existing headstone

Many of the cemeteries in Cornwall are owned and operated by Cornwall Council, whose prices are listed here.
