Covid Restrictions at the Crematorium. 

The services at most of Devon’s Crematoriums are no longer restricted.  Although Face Coverings are welcome, they are no longer mandatory, hand sanitiser is often available, and the chapel is cleaned after the service, ready for the next funeral.

Remote video streaming is available for people who are unable to attend a service personally due to illness or vulnerability.

Hymn Books are available at Torbay Crematorium, however in some places they have now been replaced completely with optional individual commemorative booklets.
