Everybody deserves a good send-off, and at Christchurch Crematorium we provide simply, good value funerals. The Beautiful Avon Park Chapel is one of our venues.
Set in an acre of landscaped grounds on the corner of Kerrs and Pages Road, Linwood, the Kerrs Road Chapel as it has come to be known, serves to offer a convenient alternative in eastern and southern Christchurch.
Designed by Christchurch architect Don Donnithorne the main aim was to create a less formal and less funereal atmosphere, more in keeping with modern tastes.
Extensive use of warm New Zealand rimu timber and superbly designed glass and windows give a feeling of both space and intimacy.
Because it was purpose-built, the Kerrs Road Chapel offers features which have become important to modern style funerals.
The lighting and sound system incorporate the latest technology, and the floor is magnetically looped to accommodate hearing aids. Air conditioning and undercover weather protection is also provided.
