York Crematorium
Located near the picturesque River Ouse in the southern part of the city, York Crematorium offers extensive grounds and modern facilities for honouring the memory of your loved ones. The crematorium features two distinct chapels—the White Rose Chapel, designed for larger gatherings with seating for 100 and standing space for 100, and the more intimate Ebor Chapel, offering a private setting for services with 25 seats. Both chapels are equipped with a Wesley music system, providing an extensive library of commercially available music, and offer options for audio recording or webcasting.
For memorialisation, York Crematorium provides various choices, including inscribed plates for the Chapel of Remembrance or Summer House, plaques and planters in the Memorial Gardens, urns in sanctum niches, and the peaceful scattering of ashes in Palace Wood. Additionally, the Book of Remembrance offers a timeless tribute.
Convenient amenities include a 60-space car park just outside the crematorium grounds, with designated disabled parking spaces and accessible toilets within the premises. York Crematorium ensures a serene and well-equipped environment for commemorating and celebrating the lives of your loved ones.
Please remember: you need to book an appointment at the York 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.
