Dignity, Respect, and Compassion, always.
At Breckland Crematorium, we are a family-run business dedicated to upholding traditional values of respect and dignity, providing the highest level of care for bereaved families. Our team is trained to a high level of service to ensure that we give each and every individual a personal service that is second to none.
Our History
Breckland Crematorium was founded by the Thornalley family, who have been established in the funeral business since 1981. The family's vision was to provide a crematorium in Norfolk, and after years of searching for the perfect location, they finally found the ideal site in Scoulton. After a period of design, planning, and building, Breckland Crematorium was ready to open its doors to the public on July 1st, 2019.
Our Facilities
Our Chapel is a large, spacious room with seating for over 100 people. We have an organ available for use during services, as well as a wide range of music through our Obitus music system. We also offer the option of having visual tributes playing during the service, and can record the service to DVD for viewing at a later date.
Our Flower Court is an oak-framed building, designed to hold and display floral tributes. The flowers from each funeral will be put on display after the service and can be viewed by the family and sympathizers. The flowers are displayed for four working days before being removed.
Our Memorial Gardens are a tranquil oasis, with a variety of memorials spread throughout the extensive gardens. We have several paths to follow, including a large pond and many places to sit and reflect.
Our Services
We offer a range of services, including funeral services, which take place Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays. Services can be held on a Saturday morning, but this is subject to a surcharge. Each service time from 10:00 am allows 40 minutes inside the Chapel, but a longer service can be booked if desired, via your Funeral Director, for a small additional fee.
We also offer a variety of memorials to suit each and every requirement, including trees, granite benches, and above-ground vaults. Our Memorial Gardens are open all year round, Monday to Sunday, from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
Our Team
Our team is led by Rachel and Nathan Rollings, who have a wealth of experience in the funeral industry. Our team is trained to a high level of service to ensure that we give each and every individual a personal service that is second to none.
