Tynemouth Crematorium
Tynemouth Crematorium, nestled within the serene surroundings of Preston Cemetery in North Shields, offers a thoughtful and environmentally conscious approach to end-of-life services. After cremation, families can choose to scatter the ashes in the Garden of Remembrance, bury them in an ashes plot or family grave, or receive them in a biodegradable container for disposal or scattering elsewhere. The crematorium provides a compassionate service, holding ashes for 7 days to allow families time to decide on the best option with their funeral director.
Dedicated to eco-friendly practices, Tynemouth Crematorium mandates the use of sustainable materials for coffins, linings, and paints. Attire for the deceased is required to be in natural fabrics, while items made from PVC, plastic, or copper are prohibited in the coffin.
Funeral services, scheduled every 45 minutes, offer 30 minutes of chapel time. Weekday services are standard, with the option for Saturday mornings at an additional cost. Families can also extend the service time by request. The crematorium accommodates personalisation, allowing families to choose funeral music with a 48-hour notice.
A poignant touch is the display of a flower card on the day of the cremation featuring the name of the deceased. This provides an opportunity for family and friends to offer floral tributes and sympathy cards. The compassionate team at Tynemouth Crematorium welcomes inquiries about funeral arrangements and invites those interested to call their funeral director for more information or to book a tour of the grounds.
Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the Tynemouth 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.
