Host funeral services, memorial gatherings, and cremations in the elegant art deco chapel next to the memorial gardens.

Foyer
We offer catering services, for refreshments after your gathering in the chapel foyer area. With large windows overlooking the chapel gardens, it’s a serene space to reflect on your loved one with family and friends.

I attended the most lovely funeral at the Canterbury Memorial Gardens today. The wishes of the family were adhered to perfectly and staff were present but not overbearing. Thank you for caring.
