What families say about Simplicity Cremations
Our nearest crematorium to Chelmsford – Bentley Crematorium
Bentley Crematorium in Brentwood lies roughly 14 miles south of Chelmsford via the A12. Since no mourners attend a direct cremation, this distance rarely matters day-to-day, though a visit afterwards to reflect quietly is always welcome.
Bentley Crematorium sits within grounds that blend into the Essex countryside and forms part of our network of 45 crematoria across the UK. Staff are always happy to assist visitors, whatever time of year they choose to visit.
It's a trusted option for families across the wider East of England.
