Exeter & Devon Crematorium

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.

St Peter’s Chapel comfortably seats up to 130 guests, and for a more intimate funeral service, St Paul’s Chapel has seating for up to 55 family and friends. Both chapels have the option to play pre-recorded music of your choice, or there is space for singers and musicians.

What families say about us

Rated 4.64 / 5 based on 59 reviews.

Thank you so much to all the staff at Exeter Crematorium. Everything was perfect for my husband's funeral service. Lots of easy parking, beautiful well kept grounds, but most of all a really welcoming feeling when we arrived. The music and photo tribute as we entered the chapel was charming and really broke the ice, so that people were smiling as they watched. My grandchildren were able to take part, reading poems for 'Grandad'. The Celebrant Mark Gilborson went above and beyond, even changing his tie, just before the start, to one that was my husband's football team's colour! He helped my family to bring their verbal contributions confidently, so that we could hear them. The webcast for friends who couldn't attend, was really special too, because they felt as if they were there with us.

Thank you again for our special day, from Susan Hubbard and her family.
