Facilities at Hinton Park
|
|
Hinton Park has first class facilities available to the families and
friends of loved ones before, during and after the burial or cremation. We
welcome you to come along and visit us and see our woodland setting at
first hand.
We pride ourselves on our caring, compassionate approach and on the
quality of our trained staff. We have many letters of thanks reflecting
our genuine compassion, understanding and support, and we always have
time and a warm welcome for those who pop by to visit their departed ones
or simply come to look around. For many, a woodland burial plot is less
final than a more traditional burial and offers a chance to sit in peace
in tranquil, natural surrounds, in harmony with the countryside and close
to one's departed loved one. It is common to see relatives visit and
spend time simply walking or sitting and enjoying a coffee with us. At
Christmas we hold a very popular carol service for those who are facing
their first Christmas after the loss of their loved one.

Reception Facilities
|
|
Our purpose-built building can host receptions after the service, with
catering if required, and can also host indoor
services for up to 100 people. The reception building is an attractive
distinctive round building and has toilets, comfortable seating for up to
70 people and is also where the main offices for Hinton Park are based.
Here, you can meet with friendly Hinton Park staff to discuss any aspects
of woodland burial, information about plot purchases or to discuss making
final arrangements. There are discreet offices where you can talk in
privacy with our caring, compassionate staff.

Vehicles
|
|
|
Our vehicles are used for collection of your loved one and for
transportation of relatives and friends at the burial service. The vehicles
we use are a fleet of dark green Mercedes. These include a green Mercedes
estate instead of a black hearse, and a green Mercedes limousine. Our
drivers wear grey. Collection of the deceased can be at any time, day or
night, and there is no restriction on distance for collection or for
transportation of friends and relatives, although there will be additional
charges for distances outside of a 20 mile radius of Hinton Park, and
collections made outside normal office hours.

Special Vehicle for Infirm
|
|
If anybody attending a burial has difficulty with reduced mobility, we have
a silent electric buggy which we often use to transport up to 6 people
within the grounds of Hinton Park. This helps those who have difficulty
with walking the distance from the reception building to the burial ground.
