Plan a funeral in Dover

If you’re planning a Dover funeral, you can choose from 3 cemeteries, several churches and a crematorium (in Barham). However, there are limited non-Christian funeral venues in town. The chapel at Barham Crematorium can be personalised to suit any belief, so this could be an option if your religion allows cremation. It also caters to non-religious funerals. Are you looking for something different from a traditional funeral? There are several privately managed sites near Dover where you can have a green burial. The closest are Deerton Natural Burial Ground and Riverview Natural Burial Ground.
