Our crematorium and memorial grounds

Built in 1936, Dundee crematorium sits within four-and-a-half acres of woodland on the outskirts of Dundee. Our historic B-listed chapel features a 1954 Henry Willis organ and two beautiful stained-glass windows, creating a welcoming space to come together for a funeral service. Our peaceful gardens of remembrance, including the Path of Remembrance where floral tributes are displayed, offer a calm place for reflection throughout the year.
