Celebration Funeral Service

£3,895

Service at Old Park Meadow followed by unattended cremation


The team at Secure Haven Funeral Directors works closely with Old Park Meadow Lodge, which is located on the outskirts of Chelmsford. Together, we have created the Celebration Funeral Service that offers a ceremony in a beautiful natural setting so that families can celebrate their loved one’s life in a tranquil location. It combines a full funeral service with a non-attended direct cremation, at a local crematorium of our choice. Family can be present for an additional charge, if requested.

Located in the heart of the Essex countryside, Old Park Meadow Lodge is an impressive glass and timber building. Its large folding glass doors allow the beauty of the surrounding meadows and woodland to be enjoyed. The lodge is purpose-built to hold celebration of life services, where you can honour the life of your loved one in a stunning location –  it is also ideally suited for a wake afterwards.

Our Celebration Funeral Service package includes the following:
