About Us

Penmount Crematorium is situated on a tranquil estate in a rural area near Truro.

The crematorium has two chapels: Trelawney and Kernow. The Trelawney chapel has seating for 112 mourners. The Kernow chapel is smaller and can seat 55 mourners. Both chapels have hearing loops and large print hymn books are available. Non-religious services are available in the Trelawney Chapel.

Music can be played live on an electronic organ or selected from a digital music system and photographs or video tributes can be displayed during the service.

The waiting rooms and toilets, including disabled toilets, are situated near the chapels.

Services can also be webcast to mourners who cannot attend the service in person and recorded on video or DVD.
