Crematorium information
Set in 14 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, and located North of Weston Town Centre, Weston Super Mare Crematorium & Cemetery was first opened by Weston Super Mare Borough council in 1966 with a view to providing a new burial ground to supplement the old town cemetery and cremations for North Somerset.
Our chapel, overlooking our garden seats 117 people. It has a music system and media facilities and is equipped with a hearing loop. We also cater for larger services with external screens and speakers so no part of the service is missed. After the service, you are led out in to our secluded flower tribute area.
Our grounds are fully accessible to all, with accessible toilet, baby changing facilities and a waiting area.
Our Gardens of Remembrance are a haven for many species of wildlife and are landscaped for serenity, Our pond is the heart of our gardens and families are welcome to sit for quiet contemplation.
We have a variety of Memorial options for you to choose from, scattering ashes in our communal gardens, waterside and private gardens or something as simple as a memorial plaque. Our memorial team are here to guide you through making the best choice for you.
Along with our crematorium and burial facilities at Ebdon Road, we currently have burial spaces at Portishead Cemetery and Clevedon cemetery. Please contact the office for further information.
