South Oxfordshire Crematorium and Memorial Park

South Oxfordshire Crematorium and Memorial Park

Nestled between East Hanney and the village of Frilford, The South Oxfordshire Memorial Park and Crematorium is thoughtfully situated off the A338. Crafted with local materials, this serene haven pays homage to the green meadows and scattered woodlands of the Vale of White Horse. Overlooked by the iconic white horse figure beneath Uffington Castle, this site radiates tranquillity.

Offering cremation, natural burial, and traditional burial, the memorial gardens and cemetery sections harmoniously blend with the landscape. The chapel, seating 96 individuals, can accommodate up to 150 including the foyer space. A maximum of 200 people can be accommodated by extending the service outdoors. Equipped with a hearing loop, Obitus media system, organ, and plasma televisions, the chapel ensures a meaningful farewell. Subtle colours evoke a sense of serenity.

Service intervals of 1 hour can be extended upon request, accommodating various needs, including weekends and outside normal hours.

Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the South Oxfordshire 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.
