The
Garden Room
For a private service or smaller gathering, The Garden Room provides a more intimate setting. Featuring a large picture window overlooking the gardens and the private bridge over our tributary, which flows directly underneath the floor.
The
Deck
Opening directly off The River View Room, the glass balustrades allow uninterrupted views of the River Itchen and the Chesil House gardens. The perfect open-air space for taking time to reflect or share conversation.
The Funeral
Ceremony
Every Chesil House service includes music, a complimentary holding image and a visual tribute of up to 35 photographs. The majority of families choose to have the whole service at Chesil House, including any words of committal. After the ceremony, Richard Steel & Partners will provide the necessary staff and transport to proceed to the crematorium.

The Chesil Suite has multiple cameras to record and webcast the service to allow absent family and friends to feel part of the occasion. Our professional audio-visual team can then edit the recording onto a USB as a personalised memento.
