Venues

We can help you shape a farewell in any space that feels right, from a traditional chapel to something unique. Whatever your preference we suggest picking a spot where you won’t be rushed. Below are a few of our favourite venues to work with, though we’re just as happy to hold a ceremony somewhere special to you — even if that's your own backyard.

Venue FAQ’s

  • Absolutely! Get in touch for some that we recommend. If you’d like to use your own caterer we’re happy to take care of all the logistical heavy lifting at no extra cost

  • All of the venues we list offer longer bookings. We actually recommend this as it gives you time to connect and say goodbye without feeling rushed.

  • This refers to venues where you can hold a full funeral with a coffin present on the day. Those that are listed as “no” for coffin present are suitable for a memorial meaning your person isn’t present on the day.

  • Yes, it’s quite common to hold different elements of the ceremony across two locations. For example, you might host the ceremony at one venue followed by a burial or ashes scattering elsewhere. Extra fees may apply so please contact us to discuss.

  • In line with our pricing policy, we adjust the final invoice to reflect the true costs of the service, so if your chosen venue is low or no-cost, you’ll only pay the actual price. Please note that a Council fee may apply to ceremonies held in public spaces.

  • There are no rules when it comes to honoring someone’s life. Sunset specialises in creating ceremonies that reflect the real essence of the life being celebrated, so we thrive on a challenge. See our blog for some ideas on what you might like to include. If it’s possible then we’re committed to making it happen.
