We offer a number of different memorials to commemorate your loved one at Aldershot Crematorium.
Refurbishment of the crematorium
We are about to carry out a major refurbishment of the Aldershot Crematorium and this will last until Spring 2025.
From 7 May, we will be holding all funeral services at the chapels in Redan Road Cemetery. Cremations will continue to take place at the crematorium. Our crematorium grounds will remain open for visitors, but the Hall of Remembrance will be closed. Our Books of Remembrance will remain available online.
Find out more by visiting our Refurbishment of Aldershot Crematorium page.

We would respectfully ask that you not place additional trinkets, vases, etc. with the roses, as this can interfere with growth and maintenance of the rose bed. If you would like to be able to place additional items, please contact us to discuss having an individual memorial.
