Perfect communication from initial call to return if ashes

Huge thank you to Lesley Masters who showed great sympathy and was helpful and supportive over such a tough time. This is our second time using Simplicity and have been very happy with the attentive service on both occasions.

Imran, Tommy and Jennie all did a superb job of guiding me through the process. Very caring and very respectful and putting my mind at ease if I was unsure of anything. Would recommend 100%.

Our Loughborough crematorium

As well as our Loughborough crematorium, we run our own network of crematoria across the country.

Based in Shelthorpe, Loughborough Crematorium was built in 1960, with a special dedication service from the Lord Bishop of Leicester. In 1993, the crematorium was extended, and several improvements were made to the building. Extensive refurbishments took place and a redesign of the entrance area, which is now sheltered to provide protection from bad weather. The All Souls Chapel was rededicated in January 1995 and has plenty of space for larger funeral services. The crematorium also has disabled access with a wheelchair ramp, braille service books, and a hearing loop system.

Our Garden of Remembrance here offers a beautiful, tranquil place to escape all year round, where you can reflect and spend time remembering your loved one.
