Barham Crematorium

We had a lovely service here. The views as you leave the service over the grounds and countryside are beautiful and very fitting. Would recommend.

Nice service, but microphone on the left could hardy pick up the speaker's voice - you could hardly hear a word at the back - it needs adjusting.Also the main car park was full and we didn't realise there were two overflow car parks near the entrance, which I'd driven past without noticing - there should be better signage in the main car park directing you to these if full.But the vews over the valley from the crematorium are simply stunning, it is a wonderful location

Google's directions are wrong. It's not off the A2, it's just off the A260 by the junction of the A2. Follow the signs for the Crematorium, not Google. :-(I nearly missed a funeral.

The grounds are lovely and well kept. There is plentiful parking and the buildings are modern and well maintained. There is nothing intrinsically 'wrong' with it but I don't like the format of a half hour service. You arrive to wait for the previous funeral to be over, then you go in for the service you are attending. As soon as you are out the door, the next funeral is waiting to go in. And where do they find the people who conduct the service? The last one I attended was conducted by a woman whose approach was saccharine sweet and a little patronising. It is not a format I would choose but if you have to use it remember that the grounds are lovely and the buildings clean and modern.

A really beautiful experience and a good sending off

A lovely beautiful place staff very friendly we all go there to pay our respects to our loved ones unlike some people like my disrespectful uncles one of them said I have zero respect for that woman" all he cared about was getting her money he should look a lot closer to home and ask his brother where the money is I have never been so disrespected in all my life my uncles were not there to show their respect to my grandmother their mother they were there to cause trouble he threatened and was very abusive towards me one of them even said I'm not welcome there I would never be like that at anyone's funeral no matter how much I hated them I filmed them and called the police for my safety because I had a feeling they would kick off at me again. These are my uncles Anthony Baker and Ian Baker"

Lovely place, nice and quiet and serene. Loads of parking spaces and beautiful scenery. Staff are very helpful and friendly.

It is set in a nice quiet area and the staff was amazing there. That is where my Mum Lynn Jeffery. She was amazing lady and will be sadly missed by her family my gf and her friends as well also her carers and the people she lived with there. She was amazing lady as well.

Very disappointed with the attitude of the staff following a comment I highlighted to them.I will say that the funeral went ahead fine and without difficulty and I am Largely grateful to the Funeral directors for that. The site is also well maintained.However, I had 2 guests attend with hearing aids. Both later indicated that they were unable to connect their hearing aids to the Hearing Loop which is intended to aid participants to hear the words going through the speaker. One guest actually wore specialist hearing aids that automatically connect to hearing loops when they are in the vicinity of one.I brought this to the attention of the crematorium staff through their feedback form and they did give me a call, but it’s clear that they did not feel it was a valid comment. They advised that on the day someone had brought it to their attention and they had tested the system without fault. Then suggested that it must have been my guests not knowing how to link into the system...really!?!? 2 guests who have had hearing loss for many years and use hearing loops in many locations and on top of that one that has an automated hearing aid...but apparently that, according to the crematorium anyway, must mean that it’s a user error...I am baffled!!! Just to add, I was advised on the day by someone that this has occurred at previous funerals.I am really disappointed that a comment (not complaint at the time of filling the form in) which was intended to ensure that future guests of funerals don’t have the same difficulties was just discounted as user error...Please Barham take some responsibility and just accept the odds of it being at your end is far higher and get an engineer to check it properly...that’s all I’m asking

Being unable to watch my uncle's funeral live from the US because the internet just went down"
