Wollongong Chapel
34 Belmore St, Wollongong NSW 2500
The H.Parsons Chapel in Wollongong is designed to be versatile and modern, allowing for large and small funeral services to be held comfortably. The foyer area of the Chapel provides a space for friends and family to gather and enjoy refreshments.
Unique to our Wollongong chapel is the state-of-the-art reflection wall which allows for images or video to be cast along an entire wall. This is a beautiful way to personalise a funeral service and we are the only funeral service provider in the Illawarra to offer this feature.
Your Local Chapel
With a design and décor that reflects the Illawarra community, our Wollongong chapel is designed with soft colours, open space, and modern facilities.
The chapel, foyer, and catering area are large and able to accommodate most sizes of funeral services. Our arrangement rooms are located on the other side of the building from the chapel and offer guests a quiet space to meet with our team and to sit prior to a funeral service.
Seating for 120
The chapel can comfortably seat 120 attendees, with additional standing and seating room available in the foyer and outside under the portico. With the extra standing and seating room, the chapel is able to accommodate most any size of funeral.
The main chapel can also be closed off, using the sliding glass doors and curtains, to create an intimate space for funeral services with less attendees.
Should you have questions about seating and numbers, please contact our team.

Reflection Wall
When the Wollongong chapel was fully renovated in 2020, high-quality projectors were installed in the chapel in order to create the Reflection Wall. Families can personalise the funeral service, by transforming an entire wall into a scene that reflects what their loved one was most passionate about in life.
