Located on the outskirts of Wrexham, Pentrebychan Crematorium holds around 1,700 services a year.
The grounds extend for 40 acres and are open to visitors 365 days a year.
Four gardens of remembrance offer a peaceful area for families who choose to scatter the cremated remains of their loved ones at the crematorium.
There are also several memorialisation options provided for those who wish to have a focal point to commemorate their loved ones.
Every year we hold a Memorial Service to commemorate friends and family who have been cremated at Pentrebychan. This service is usually held in July.

Location
Gardens
For those who wish to have the remains of their loved ones scattered within the crematorium grounds, a choice of four gardens is available:
- Walled Garden – a formal garden within the walls of the 17th century hall.
- Wisteria Walk – landscaped in a modern design with shale rockery beds set in lawn turf areas.
- Lily Pool – situated in the woodlands and surrounded by stately, mature trees and lawns on which the remains are scattered. Waterfowl and other wildlife by the Lily Pool can be seen in the adjacent woodland.
- Daffodil Meadow – informal in character with daffodils, bluebells, snowdrops and other wild flowers growing in abundance.
All remains are scattered on 'plots' which are numbered and can be easily identified.
Please note that dogs are not allowed in the chapel or gardens of remembrance (with the exception of assistance dogs).
Crematorium chapel
The spacious chapel has full length windows on one side, giving a feeling of light and space.
There is seating capacity for 120 mourners, plus extra standing room.
The chapel is normally available for 30 minute periods, during which the form of funeral service is a matter of personal choice. Religious symbols are available when required and extended service times are available on request (an extra fee applies for this).
Find out about services we can provide within the chapel on the crematorium fees and charges page.
A loop system is available within the chapel.
After the service floral tributes are displayed in the court yard at the chapel exit, and these may be taken away by the family if they so wish.
