CrematoriumEstablished in 1967, the Salisbury Park Crematorium is a privately owned facility set against the backdrop of the tranquil rural landscape that characterises the surrounding area. The crematorium has faced challenges, notably a significant fire in 1994 that caused extensive damage to the roof over the chapel. However, the resilience of the facility shone through with its restoration. In a commitment to modern practices and environmental standards, the original diesel-fired cremator was replaced in 2009 with a state-of-the-art American gas-fired unit, ensuring efficient and respectful cremation services.

GardensSurrounding the crematorium, you will find our beautifully maintained gardens, thoughtfully designed to provide a serene setting for cremation plots. These tranquil gardens are a testament to nature's beauty, featuring meticulously landscaped areas, vibrant seasonal flowers, and peaceful walking paths. Each section of the garden offers a space for reflection and remembrance, allowing families to honour their loved ones in a picturesque environment. The dedication to maintaining these gardens reflects our commitment to creating an uplifting atmosphere of peace and solace.

PlaquesWe understand the importance of memorialisation, and new plaques can be purchased directly through the crematorium. For families wishing to restore older plaques, we offer a service to re-silver fading inscriptions, bringing them back to their original condition for a nominal fee. This allows for enduring tributes that honour the memories of those we cherish.
