The Crawford Difference
Carol and Terry had a vision to create and deliver a holistic approach to funeral care, evident throughout both the Service and care provided by all team members and extensive park like gardens which provide a warm and inviting environment for families and friends. Carol and Terry wanted to relieve some of the apprehension and uncomfortable feelings often associated with funeral care and approach a person's farewell as part of their journey. Their vision for this was to create both a beautiful warm and tranquil physical environment as well as a comforting and inviting essence, within the grounds and chapel.
"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched.
They must be felt with the heart" Helen Keller.

Chapel & Gardens
We understand a Funeral Service is about more than just the tangible moments you see, its also about the feelings evoked from reflecting on a life loved and lived. Our Premises is designed with this in mind providing a warm, comfortable and inviting space both in and outdoors to share memories, reflect or even smile and laugh, whilst celebrating your loved one's life.
Our Chapel has an indoor seating capacity of 110 and standing room for another 40. A private family room is available for the immediate family to gather along with a private viewing room, for the more intimate moments.
For larger Services, an indoor/outdoor area which includes a screen and speakers can accommodate a larger crowd. Along with our beautiful gardens, gazebo, and large car-park, our facilities provide a warm and relaxed environment.
