Funeral Flowers for Hull Crematorium
Just north of the railway bridge on Chanterlands Avenue, in the north-west of the city beside the Western Cemetery grounds, Hull City Council runs the crematorium that serves Hull and a good part of the East Riding.
Services here draw mourners from the Avenues, from Cottingham Road and Hessle Road, and from villages such as Cottingham, Willerby and Anlaby, with gardens of remembrance on site for the interment or scattering of ashes in due course.
Since flowers accompany most funerals at Chanterlands Avenue, the notes below take you through the ordering details, delivery on the day, and where the tributes are shown after the committal.
Flower Policy
A wreath, a sheaf, a coffin spray, a posy or letters spelling a name, Hull florists deliver each of these to the crematorium as part of an ordinary week, bringing them in before the service so that nothing about timing rests with the family, the window being fixed between florist, funeral director and venue.
Following the committal the flowers are carried to the crematorium's flower viewing area, where mourners linger to read the cards; if you would rather they go home with you, or on to a hospice or care home, the funeral director should hear about it in advance so staff at the crematorium know what is intended.
Delivery Guidance
On the order itself, set down the name exactly as the funeral director has it, in full, never shortened, plus the date and start time of the service, and the venue as Hull Crematorium, Chanterlands Avenue, Hull, passing on the chapel name too if it has been confirmed.
Chanterlands Avenue is a standard run for the city's florists; telephone early in the morning if the order must be same-day, though a day or two of notice always sits more comfortably, and routing the flowers through the funeral home beforehand removes the question altogether.

Frequently asked questions
Who runs Hull Crematorium?
Hull City Council, whose bereavement services manage the Chanterlands Avenue site along with the city's cemeteries.
When should funeral flowers reach Hull Crematorium?
Ahead of the start, with room to spare. Florists deliver early and square the timing with the crematorium, leaving the family nothing to provide beyond a correctly detailed order.
Where do the tributes go after a service?
They go on display in the grounds for mourners to view once the committal is over, and with notice can be taken home or donated instead.
Can I send flowers from outside Hull?
Yes, place the order with a florist based in the city, give them the service details, and they will deliver straight to the crematorium; flowers of condolence sent to the family at home are another route.
