This Year, with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing, we're currently offering weekend services to ensure that families and friends of those our community has lost, can be remembered.

The Isle of Wight Crematorium is currently seeing an increased number of service bookings for cremation. By offering weekend services we aim to provide families and funeral directors with more choice when arranging a funeral.

Please speak to your funeral director about what options and times are available when booking a funeral.
