Crematorium information

Haltemprice Crematorium is located just off the A164. When using a Sat Nav please enter the postcode HU10 6DS.

Haltemprice Crematorium opened in 1998 following extensive refurbishment of the former De La Pole Hospital Chapel.

We take great care in creating a peaceful and tranquil environment for people to visit and pay their respects to relatives and friends who are no longer with us. It is never easy to arrange a fitting farewell, but for families in the Hull and East Riding area, Haltemprice Crematorium offers help, advice and a choice of reliable and appropriate services provided by a caring and experienced team of professionals.

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 via the A164.

Once a place of Christian worship, this converted building can now accommodate multi-faith services of up to 200 mourners. Although completely refurbished, much of the chapel's original 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 a modern stained glass window, which colourfully depicts The Ship of Souls.

It is important to us that any confusion is completely removed to help families to fully understand what the Cremation Fee includes, and what this means as part of the wider cost of the funeral. We have outlined the elements that are necessary to provide a cremation service to you below, although of course we would be happy to discuss any further queries you might have directly with you. You can contact us at any time to talk through any further options and any fees that might apply.
