Located just over 6 miles from Colchester Crematorium and with numerous churches nearby, the Marks Tey Hotel is conveniently located just off the A12 on the outskirts of Colchester.

This means you have peace of mind that friends and family of your loved one can relax knowing that we are both easy to find, with ample free car parking for over 200 vehicles.

Choose one of our function rooms to gather with your guests which we offer free of charge. Our suites can accommodate a smaller, intimate event and our informal restaurant and large Balkan room can accommodate up to 200 guests in total.

We recognise this can be an extremely difficult time and therefore aim to make the planning process as easy as possible.

Our caring staff will meet with you in person and discuss your preferences over coffee, whilst providing you with a selection of menus and drink options for you to collectively make your decisions alongside other family members.

Our professional, yet unobtrusive service staff will allow you to feel at ease on the day.

Guests travelling some distance and requiring overnight accommodation can benefit from discounted rates.

We welcome the use of our projector and screen to display images of the deceased, which we offer on a complimentary basis. Photos can also be displayed around the room.

For those wishing to car share to the funeral service venue, we are happy to allow for vehicles to remain in our car park before and also after the event where necessary.
