Our funeral home on Newbiggin Lane has on-site parking including a designated disabled space, and the building is fully accessible at ground floor level with a wheelchair-accessible toilet and a ground floor arrangement room. If you are travelling from further afield and need a landmark to help you find us, Newcastle Airport is just a short distance away and can serve as a useful point of reference on your route.
You can call our Westerhope team at any hour, day or night, and we will be ready to help from that very first conversation. Once a doctor has confirmed the death, we can arrange for your father to be brought gently into our care - including to our chapel of rest on Newbiggin Lane - and we will walk you through any paperwork and next steps at a pace that feels right for your family.
Our team has experience supporting Sikh, Hindu, and Chinese families alongside people of all faiths and none, and we understand how important it is to honour cultural and religious traditions with genuine respect. Whether your family worships at a local place such as St John Vianney RC Church or holds ceremonies elsewhere, we will work closely with you to ensure every element of the funeral reflects what matters most to those who loved the person who died.
Our Westerhope funeral home on Newbiggin Lane is here for families across Chapel House, Chapel Park, Newbiggin Hall, Darras Hall, and the surrounding communities. Wherever you are in the area, our team can come to you, and we will guide you through every step of the arrangements with care and without pressure.
We work with West Road Crematorium, which serves families across the west of Newcastle and is a dignified, well-maintained setting for a cremation service. On the day, our team will accompany your family throughout, managing every detail from the arrival of the procession to supporting you as you say your goodbyes, so you can focus entirely on being present for one another.
