The grounds are well maintained, I always feel very at peace when I visit my dad’s resting place. Thank you for creating a beautiful place.

Our crematorium and memorial grounds
Once part of the Northbrook Park Estate, our grounds at Exeter & Devon Crematorium carry a rich history. After serving as a civil defence headquarters during World War II, the site was developed into a crematorium which opened in 1963. Since then, we have served generations of local families. Set within 14 acres of carefully maintained grounds, our two chapels offer peaceful spaces to come together and celebrate a life. Our Garden of Remembrance features a lake, rose garden and established trees, plus a flock of white fantail doves who also call the grounds home.

Sadly I recently had to deal with my young son’s funeral. Between them, co-op funeral care and staff at the crematorium made sure it was for him, given his norse pagan beliefs. Nothing was too much for them. It didn’t end there. The after care was amazing thanks to Josh. He helped us sort a memorial and it was exactly what I wanted. Josh also helped us through the final goodbye yesterday when we scattered my son’s ashes. The gardens are beautiful and well maintained. Thank you all but especially Josh.
