In Cambridge, there are several options for a funeral service. The service could be held at a local funeral home, a church or chapel, an open outdoor space, or another place the person had a connection with. Here are a few ideas and suggestions for funeral venues in Cambridge.
Local Funeral Home
At Grinter’s Funeral Home, we offer our own purpose-built chapel with everything necessary for a funeral service. This includes ample seating, equipment for the eulogy and speeches, and an area for refreshments after the service as well.
Grinter’s Chapel – 3 Hallys Lane
Churches & Chapels
If your loved one was religious, or if they would appreciate a more traditional service, a church or chapel is a thoughtful choice. Depending on your religious affiliations, there are several options in Cambridge. This kind of venue is usually well-equipped for a service, with suitable seating and equipment for speeches. Some of the most popular churches and chapels in Cambridge are:
- St Peter’s Catholic Church – 21 Anzac Street
- Trinity St Paul’s Union Parish of Cambridge – 43 Queen Street
- St Andrew’s Anglican Church – 85 Hamilton Road
- Hamilton Park Chapel – Morrinsville Road
Clubrooms
For many New Zealanders, club rooms hold many special memories with lifelong friends. These venues are usually large enough to hold a funeral service. Some of the clubrooms in Cambridge are:
- Cambridge Raceway – 1 Taylor Street
- Cambridge Football Club – John Kerkhof Park Vogel Street
- Hautapu Sports Club – 211 Victoria Street
- Cambridge Golf Club – 112 Tirau Road
Outdoor Funerals
Outdoor funerals are a meaningful choice for those who loved nature. The most common places to hold an outdoor funeral are at the graveside or at home in the family garden. An outdoor funeral is most suited to smaller, more private services without as many attendees. A couple of popular outdoor venues are:
- The TreeChurch & Gardens – 119 West Road
- Moondance Manor Gardens – 115 Te Awa Road
Restaurant Venues
A restaurant is a great option for those looking for a less traditional service. Depending on the restaurant, you can have an intimate or large service with ample seating. Restaurants are also perfectly suited to provide refreshments after the service. The Boatshed Karapiro hosts funeral services, but if you have another restaurant in mind, feel free to let your funeral director know and they can contact them to see if they would be willing to host you.
- The Boatshed Karapiro – 21 Amber Lane
