Thanet Crematorium
Thanet Crematorium, situated on Manston Road since 1966, provides a range of options for memorialising loved ones. It boasts several gardens of rest, a woodland burial ground, a rose garden, and the opportunity to adopt mature trees. The crematorium features a chapel with seating for approximately 80 people, along with standing space.
The chapel is equipped with a specialised music system provided by Wesley Media, and funeral directors can accommodate music requests.
