Oxford Crematorium, established in May 1939, resides on a serene 22-acre expanse at the city's outskirts.

With two chapels catering to diverse funerals and cultural needs, the facilities encompass wheelchair access, disabled amenities, Braille service books, and a hearing loop system. 

The renowned gardens of remembrance host enchanting daffodil beds, creating a tranquil atmosphere for memorials, roses, private gardens, and wall tablets. Niche purchases within a mausoleum are also available upon inquiry.

Amidst a welcoming environment, the crematorium offers a waiting room and 100 parking spaces (including 3 for disabled individuals). There are several direct cremation options, including unattended and attended services, accommodating various preferences with care and flexibility.
