Shannon Crematorium

Shannon Crematorium opened in June 2017 and since then we have been providing an idyllic comfortable and peaceful location for families as they bring their loved ones for their final service. Our professional team will guide, advise and support families along each step of the way in planning cremation services. Our team are on hand to co-ordinate all aspects of service the moment a family arrive to our grounds...

From meeting with the family upon their arrival to reassure and support them through to presenting the remains on arrival into the chapel then and being available to deal with any queries they may have regarding return of ashes etc.

Cremation Service

Once the service is finished and the mourners have left the chapel the coffin will be removed to the crematory. The coffin is cremated exactly as it is received in the crematory and is always cremated separately.

The cremated remains (ashes) will usually be ready for collection in three to five working days. The ashes can be collected by the Funeral Director or the Applicant for Cremation. Another member of the family can collect the ashes, but, only with the written permission of the Applicant. Shannon Crematorium has an “open door” policy and we welcome families to inspect the chapel and the crematory either before the service or following the cremation. Please contact the office to arrange for a visit.

Following the cremation service, we at Shannon Crematorium will send details of our memorial choices to the Applicant. We always recommend a visit to the crematorium where you can take comfort and solace in the warmth of our dedicated family room as a member of staff advises you of the many different options available that will be personal and suited to your family wishes. At this time you may also like to walk around our garden and see the Columbarium wall where families have the option of interring their loved ones ashes.
