Our major refurbishment of Aldershot Crematorium is scheduled to be completed later this year.
The work includes installing a second cremator, a new roof, external cladding, extending the covered entrance and improving access for people with disabilities.
There will also be better insulation, with solar panels and new windows fitted, as part of the council's commitment to tackling climate change.
Funeral arrangements while the work is being carried out
Funeral services are being held in the Redan Road chapels in Aldershot while the crematorium building is closed for refurbishment.
There are two Victorian chapels in the Redan Road cemetery, and one is used for funerals and the other is a waiting room, with toilets and an office area. There is parking available at the cemetery.
Cremations will still take place at the Aldershot crematorium.
Access to the crematorium grounds
The Aldershot Crematorium grounds are still open to visitors as usual. The hall of remembrance is closed to the public, but accessible online.
Why we are refurbishing the crematorium
The crematorium was opened in 1960 and was last fully refurbished 25 years ago. The most recent condition survey on the building showed that a new roof and a second cremator are now needed.
We are taking the opportunity to invest in the building so that it offers a much-improved experience for all.
