💙 Tracey's Tip

Weeley Crematorium serves families from across the Tendring district and can become particularly busy during holiday periods when travel to the coast is heavier. 

If relatives are travelling from further afield, ask your Funeral Director about service times and local accommodation to make the day a little easier.
