Cremation (Kingsdown Crematorium)

On this page: Information about Swindon's crematorium, and how to arrange a cremation there.

How to Arrange a Cremation

Kingsdown Crematorium exterior

The arrangement of a cremation is usually a service provided by a funeral director (sometimes called an undertaker).

It's therefore not usually necessary for someone arranging a funeral to have any direct contact with us - we would normally liaise directly with the funeral director, who has vast experience of what needs to be organised.

But we can, of course, offer help and advice. If you have any specific enquiries, then please contact us.

The Chapel

The Chapel has been designed using natural colours to give an attractive and peaceful setting in which to hold a funeral service. Seating up to 70 people, the interior is adequately heated and the large eastern window makes sure that there is plenty of natural light.

Memorials

There are several different types of memorial designed to commemmorate a cremation - please see Memorials.

Fees
