    Surprisingly no road signs on the main road. All the other cematoria we have had the sa duty to attend are well signe but not this one. Be aware that sat nav may incorrectly show it on the opposite side of the main road from the cemetry. We spent the best part of half an hour trying to find any one who knew where it was. Eventually found it just in time for the service. A nice buiding and nice surrondings when you finally find it.

    My dad was cremated here recently, it was a wonderful, simple, beautiful goodbye. Penny helped massively in planning the service, and the minister on the day was just the right mix of engaging, funny, warm and reverent. My list of songs were played out perfectly, and the service ended on a light note. We were allowed time under the canopy as it rained to catch up with family and friends after the funeral, and didn't feel rushed or anything. I couldn't have been more pleased with Dad's last journey, thank you Penny and team at the Crematorium, and the team at Hunnaballs of Colchester too.

    Whilst attending a funeral on lockdown for covid-19, I have to say we had no problems here at all, although they limited it to 10 people only, I was a little disappointed as there was plenty of room for everyone to keep the 2m distancing and have more people, maybe worth noting if extras from the same household. They were having maintenance done of the toilets, and staff was limited. But everything went to plan.
