Reading Crematorium
Located in Caversham's northern suburb, The Reading Crematorium, operated by the borough council, graces the Henley Road Cemetery grounds. Its Renaissance-style chapel, marked by elegance, welcomes all mourners from all faiths and backgrounds. The site offers diverse memorial options, from plaques and vases to dedicated trees or benches. A Book of Remembrance is accessible both at the crematorium and online. For a poignant farewell, ashes can find a peaceful resting place in the Garden of Remembrance.
Ample parking is available across three separate grounds, but guests are kindly urged to use the main car park to ensure pedestrian safety. The Reading Crematorium provides a serene and versatile space for commemorating loved ones, blending architectural grace with thoughtful memorial choices.
Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the Reading Crematorium in order to discuss your plans. We’d be happy to help you do this, so feel free to get in touch with one of our personal advisers.
