Viewing the Deceased
Family members often request to see the deceased and pay their last respects in private.
The Hygienic treatment, care and attending th the deceased is a priority whether viewing takes place or not.
Viewing in our Chapel of rest is via appointment only and you are welcome to spend as much time as you need to pay your respects.
Close family friends will only be allowed to view on the specific request of the family.
