of our chapel and facilities
The now iconic Westpark Chapel at 467 Wairakei Road, Burnside was opened in 1971and extensively refurbished in 2009.
The large chapel seats 220 comfortably, and can accommodate another 300 standing or viewing the service on the lounge screens. A glass wall at the eastern end looks out to a tranquil garden providing a calming environment to contemplate during the service. There is also a smaller side chapel for private, more intimate services.
Both chapels are lined in rimu timber and have midnight blue carpet, Lamb & Hayward's trademark colour. Watercolour paintings of local and South Island scenes by Christchurch artist Kelvin McMillan are a special feature of Westpark.
The adjacent William Lounge, named after our three original founders, provides a perfect venue for refreshments after the funeral service. Full catering services are available on site.
Following a recent upgrade of its state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, Westpark now has a large retractable screen to show the DVD tributes that feature at many services today.
The car parking area has a capacity for over 100 cars. The trees and lawns, together with the lake, its fountain and visiting ducks, create a truly unique setting.
