Barham Crematorium

Lovely place, nice and quiet and serene. Loads of parking spaces and beautiful scenery. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

Peaceful today, on any day even when services are being conducted. BH, being January 1st 2024, quiet although several cars in and out of car park while we paid our respects to my family

Nice service, but microphone on the left could hardy pick up the speaker's voice - you could hardly hear a word at the back - it needs adjusting. Also the main car park was full and we didn't realise there were two overflow car parks near the entrance, which I'd driven past without noticing - there should be better signage in the main car park directing you to these if full. But the vews over the valley from the crematorium are simply stunning, it is a wonderful location

Very disappointed with the attitude of the staff following a comment I highlighted to them. I will say that the funeral went ahead fine and without difficulty and I am Largely grateful to the Funeral directors for that. The site is also well maintained. However, I had 2 guests attend with hearing aids. Both later indicated that they were unable to connect their hearing aids to the Hearing Loop which is intended to aid participants to hear the words going through the speaker. One guest actually wore specialist hearing aids that automatically connect to hearing loops when they are in the vicinity of one. I brought this to the attention of the crematorium staff through their feedback form and they did give me a call, but it’s clear that they did not feel it was a valid comment. They advised that on the day someone had brought it to their attention and they had tested the system without fault. Then suggested that it must have been my guests not knowing how to link into the system...really!?!? 2 guests who have had hearing loss for many years and use hearing loops in many locations and on top of that one that has an automated hearing aid...but apparently that, according to the crematorium anyway, must mean that it’s a user error...I am baffled!!! Just to add, I was advised on the day by someone that this has occurred at previous funerals. I am really disappointed that a comment (not complaint at the time of filling the form in) which was intended to ensure that future guests of funerals don’t have the same difficulties was just discounted as user error...Please Barham take some responsibility and just accept the odds of it being at your end is far higher and get an engineer to check it properly...that’s all I’m asking

Very nice service.

The grounds are lovely and well kept. There is plentiful parking and the buildings are modern and well maintained. There is nothing intrinsically 'wrong' with it but I don't like the format of a half hour service. You arrive to wait for the previous funeral to be over, then you go in for the service you are attending. As soon as you are out the door, the next funeral is waiting to go in. And where do they find the people who conduct the service? The last one I attended was conducted by a woman whose approach was saccharine sweet and a little patronising. It is not a format I would choose but if you have to use it remember that the grounds are lovely and the buildings clean and modern.

Warm and compassionate staff who take great care of all the surroundings as well as events inside the chapel

It is set in a nice quiet area and the staff was amazing there. That is where my Mum Lynn Jeffery. She was amazing lady and will be sadly missed by her family my gf and her friends as well also her carers and the people she lived with there. She was amazing lady as well.
