Canford Crematorium
Canford Crematorium, situated at the historic Canford Cemetery site (1903) in Westbury on Trym, has served the North and West Bristol area since its opening in 1956 under Bristol City Council's ownership.
The Chapel accommodates 100 individuals, with service slots lasting 45 minutes and the possibility of extended services, subject to availability. Offering webcasting and recording services, Canford ensures that funeral ceremonies are accessible to those unable to attend physically, allowing live viewing on any digital device.
Cremation memorials, meticulously designed and produced to the highest standards, blend traditional and contemporary styles. Canford encourages a personalised approach to memorial selection, advising families to speak to their funeral director about creating a memorial that truly reflects and honours the individual's life.
Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the Canford 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.
