Pleasington Crematorium

Pleasington Crematorium

Pleasington Crematorium, established in 1943, offers a serene setting for respectful cremation services. The chapel features 14 beautiful pews, with additional standing space in the aisles. Services at the crematorium are inclusive and open to individuals from all towns and backgrounds, ensuring that each cremation is handled with the utmost dignity and respect.

The Gardens of Remembrance, nestled within the crematorium grounds, provide a tranquil space for scattering ashes. With 12 gardens to choose from, each offering memorial wedges around its lawns, you can commemorate your loved ones in a serene environment. The lawns are meticulously maintained, with regular cutting and garden upkeep in the summer months.

For those seeking memorabilia, the crematorium offers a Small Chapel for reflection and remembrance. A memorial wall with beautiful plaques is situated within the Garden of Remembrance, although it is currently at full capacity, and no further applications for wall plaques can be accepted in this area.

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