There is a small free car park to the left of our building, and if that is full there is off-road parking available just a one-minute walk away, as well as street parking nearby. Our arrangement room is on the ground floor and the building is fully wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet on site, so families visiting us from across Houghton Regis or Lewsey Farm can be sure they will be comfortable and well looked after during their visit.
We have worked with families of many different faiths since opening at St Dominic's Square in 2000, and we are experienced in arranging services that honour specific religious traditions with care and respect. Whether your family would like a service at St Hugh's, a ceremony at Holy Cross, or a completely non-religious farewell, we will listen carefully and make sure the day truly reflects your loved one's beliefs and wishes.
Our team is here around the clock, so you can call us at any time of day or night and we will talk you through everything calmly and without rushing. We can arrange to bring your loved one into our care from your home, a hospital, or anywhere in the Dunstable and Luton Vale area, and we will let you know which paperwork will be needed and when. You do not need to have any of the answers straight away — we will help you take it one step at a time.
Yes, our team at St Dominic's Square serves families across Houghton Regis, Dunstable, Lewsey Farm, Skimpot, Chaul End and the wider Luton Vale area, as well as further afield including Bedford and Aylesbury Vale. Wherever you are, we will come to you and make sure your family is supported from the very first call.
On the day of a cremation, our team will bring your loved one to the chosen venue — such as All Saints Church or Holy Cross — for the service before travelling on to the crematorium. We will guide your family through every stage of the day, from the timing of the cortège to what to expect when you arrive, so nothing feels uncertain. We take care of all the practical arrangements so that you can focus on being present with those you love.
