Mercia Forest Crematorium Broad Lane, Essington, Wolverhampton, WV11 2RJ
If you are interested in a personal, intimate, attended cremation to celebrate the life of a loved one, this can take place at Mercia Forest Crematorium just north of Walsall and Wolverhampton. Up to 8 people can attend a 10 minute service from just £1,699 or 20 people can attend a 20 minute service from just £1,899.
Situated in 10 acres of woodland, Mercia Forest Crematorium provides a calm and comforting environment for cremation funerals. The light, airy and contemporary chapel is situated in thoughtfully landscaped grounds which have created new wildlife habitats, retained trees and enhanced native planting. Positive environmental initiatives at Mercia Forest Crematorium also include advanced filtration and abatement technology to reduce pollution. A modern digital music system allows loved ones to be commemorated with any genre of music that best suits their personality and celebrates their life.
There are many meaningful locations in and around Coseley for scattering ashes once they have been hand-delivered back.
However, please note before you do so that you must gain permission from the landowner or local authority first.
Coseley has several parks where ashes could be scattered. Enjoy the wide lawns of Clayton Park or the natural surroundings of Silver Jubilee Park. The whole family can take a walk together or you can scatter the ashes alone for a moment of private reflection.
Bodies of water can offer a serene and peaceful environment for reflecting on a loved one's life and scattering some or all of their ashes. A good choice for Coseley residents is the Birmingham Canal which runs directly through the centre of the Coseley area.
You may like to consider a location for scattering ashes that's tailored to your loved one's passions and interests. The bowling green and beer garden of Coseley Tavern for example could provide a meaningful location with happy memories to reflect back on.
With a direct cremation, you have the freedom to arrange a personal memorial service of your choosing in your own time. Places in and around Coseley that may be suited to your memorial service include church halls, village or town halls, sports or social clubs, pubs, restaurants or hotels.
Consider Coseley Working Men's Club if your loved one was a member. The club does open its events to non-members too so if you're looking for a venue with a fully stocked bar and plentiful event space, it's worth making a hire enquiry for your wake even if you're not a club member.
For those who enjoy a traditional real ale pub, The Beacon Hotel & Brewery is full of character. The nearby Sedgley Beacon Hills provide one of the highest points in the West Midlands for scattering ashes. Visit The Beacon Hotel afterwards to share memories over a refreshing pint.
Hosting wakes at home is also a common choice. As part of the wake, you may also wish to scatter your loved one's ashes in your garden to keep them with you in Coseley or bury the ashes under a favourite plant to rekindle the memories of your loved one each time it flowers.
We offer the highest level of support, but don't just take our word for it. Below are recent reviews from customers who bought a funeral with us.
