🍂 Autumn at Charnock Richard Crematorium 🍂

As autumn settles in, the grounds are touched with warm colours of gold, amber, and soft red. The leaves fall quietly, creating a gentle, peaceful atmosphere — a place for reflection and remembrance.

It’s a peaceful time of year, where every falling leaf seems to honour the memories held here.

You are welcome to take a quiet moment to walk the grounds and find solace in the calm of the season.🍁🍂

Latest addition to Charnock Richard Crematorium, located on our quiet corner by the entrance to our grounds

🌬️ The Wind Phone

This is a place to speak to those we’ve lost.

The Wind Phone is a disconnected telephone, placed in a quiet space, where anyone can go to talk to a loved one who has passed.

There’s no dial tone—but the connection is real. Through words, silence, or tears, people find comfort, reflection, and healing.

You’re welcome to visit. There’s no right or wrong way to use it. Just speak from the heart. 💙
