Medway Crematorium
Medway Crematorium, owned and managed by Medway Council, has been serving the people of Medway and surrounding areas since 1959. The crematorium sits on 14 acres of beautiful grounds with mixed woodland, shrub beds, formal planting, and grass beneath large trees. The facility has been improved in recent years with increased capacity in both chapels in 2015, installation of three new cremators with state-of-the-art emissions monitoring and filtration equipment in 2018, and the installation of new monitors and cameras to provide visual tributes and webcasting during funeral services.
Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the Medway 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.
