Each chapel can seat approximately 80 people and can be booked at half hourly intervals from Monday to Friday and at weekends between 9am and 4pm. The use of the organ and services of an organist is included within the cremation fee and is also provided for burial services that require the chapel. Compact disc and tape playing facilities are available also.

Scattering of ashes
Arrangements can be made to scatter ashes in the Garden of Remembrance at Putney Vale according to the instructions given by the family.
