Our own ideally located, flexible space
Based in the old waiting room at Preston Park station, the Modern Funeral Centre opened its doors for the first time in 2022 to welcome clients and visitors for funeral-related ceremonies and events.
The adaptable, accessible ground floor space has comfortable chairs to seat up to 20 people for private ceremonies and memorials, but can also be used as a chapel of rest to visit a person who has died while we are caring for them, or for overnight vigils in the run up to a funeral.
The room is also used to host regular death cafes, networking meetings, meditation sessions and as a rehearsal space for singing groups.
The Modern Funeral is operated by a small, dedicated team of creative and professional funeral directors and celebrants.
We see a successful funeral as one which reflects the person who has died and honours the unique things about them: the ways they have lived and the impact they have had on the world through their values, work and relationships.
We guide the communities around a person who has died through practical considerations, towards a natural sense of closure
We help you say a positive and thoughtful goodbye in a customised funeral ceremony, all the while remaining tuned in to the person, their body and memory.
We are refreshingly open and honest in our approach to funeral services and support.
We offer personalised, compassionate professional care that lets you honour your person in just the right way.
For a unique and personal farewell
