Bournemouth Crematorium
The Bournemouth Crematorium, situated adjacent to the North Cemetery on Strouden Avenue, is a splendid sanctuary nestled within a Green Flag site, showcasing its status as one of Bournemouth's most captivating green spaces.
Since its establishment in 1931, this crematorium, overseen by the local authority, has been adorned with rose gardens, a delightful butterfly garden for children, and a serene woodland area, providing an ideal resting place for your beloved. The exquisite stone building has undergone meticulous renovations, exemplifying the highest standards. It boasts two chapels capable of accommodating intimate gatherings of up to 40 individuals or larger congregations of up to 100.
