Lancaster & Morecombe Crematorium

Lancaster & Morecombe Crematorium

Established in 1963 amidst 14 acres of picturesque Lancashire countryside, Lancaster and Morecambe Crematorium provides a tranquil haven for families in Lancaster and the surrounding counties. The dedicated and caring staff are committed to treating every family with dignity and respect.

A spacious chapel, overlooking landscaped gardens, can accommodate larger funerals, offering a service time of 45 minutes, longer than many other crematoria. Ensuring inclusivity, they provide access for the disabled, disabled toilets, a hearing loop system, and Braille service books for the visually impaired.

The beautifully landscaped Gardens of Remembrance blend seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Families have the choice of personalised memorials, including roses and private gardens. The memorial staff, available by appointment, can guide you through the gardens to help you make a fitting choice. The gardens are open 365 days a year. The Book of Remembrance Room is accessible during office hours, and the grounds are open to the public.

With 62 parking spaces (including 2 disabled spaces), they aim to provide convenient access for all visitors.

Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the Lancaster & Morecambe 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.
