Other Funeral Venues

Many families choose to hold a funeral or memorial service at a venue outside a chapel — somewhere familiar, meaningful, or better suited to the size and style of the gathering.

John Rhind regularly arranges services at a wide range of off-site venues across Canterbury. We’ll help you choose the right location and take care of all coordination, so the day runs smoothly and with dignity.
