Crematorium information

Haltemprice Crematorium opened in 1998 following extensive refurbishment of the former De La Pole Hospital Chapel. Looking over the peaceful country aspect of semi-rural Willerby, it is hard to believe that this impressive facility is within easy access of the busy towns of Hull and Beverly.

Our historic and extremely beautiful chapel at Haltemprice Crematorium is a listed building. Although completely refurbished, much of the chapel's original architectural features have been retained, and traditional craftsmen's skills are evident in a blend of old and new features. Seasoned roof timbers and mellow brickwork merge to form a striking backdrop for an intimate service.

Our chapel can seat up to 200 people with further standing room for another 100. We have a music system which incorporates visual and video tributes. Services can be webcasted, and keepsakes of the service and tributes are also available to take home and treasure. It is also equipped with a hearing loop and exterior speakers outside so that no part of the service is missed.

Our Gardens of Remembrance have a variety of memorials where families can choose. These include scattering, plaques, rockery plots or private gardens. Our beautiful man-made pond hosts large koi carp, and is bringing nature back to the site. The gardens are always being extended and landscaped to constantly improve the look of our garden as well as giving more options to our local families in their time of need. Our grounds staff are always around if you need any help and our memorial team will be happy to go through any options to help you select the right memorial.
