Craigton Crematorium
Berryknowes Road, Cardonald, Glasgow, G52 2DB
Our crematorium and memorial grounds
Designed by renowned Paisley architect James Steel Maitland, Craigton Crematorium opened in 1957 and was sensitively refurbished and re-dedicated in 2025. Our memorial gardens offer a peaceful place for reflection throughout the year, with accessible pathways, mature trees and well-tended flower beds. This is a welcoming space to gather for a personal funeral or meaningful memorial.
A chapel for all faiths and beliefs
Recently refurbished, our Craigton Crematorium chapel retains the original marble details and arched ceiling from architect James Steel Maitland's 1957 design. Now with comfortable modern seating and elegant lighting, this is a bright, welcoming space for up to 94 guests, with standing room for larger funeral services. A modern sound system can play music of your choice, and there's room for singers and musicians too.
