Find out about cremation services in Croydon Crematorium.
We pride ourselves in ensuring that every cremation is individual and the deceased’s identity is maintained at all times. Each cremation is normally completed within 48 hours of the service. Where a coffin needs to be held overnight, we have refrigerated, secure storage. We have three state of the art cremators.
The crematorium is licensed under the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and to reduce air pollution and gas usage we programme the cremations from 8 am to 8 pm each day. This means that only one or two cremators are used each day and ensures the process is as environmentally friendly as possible.
To reduce emissions, we ask funeral directors and the bereaved not to use plastics, PVC or any material that causes pollution. The deceased can be dressed or shrouded in clothing of natural materials, but shoes or rubber soled footwear must be avoided. Placing items in the coffin which explode must be avoided. These include coconuts, bottles of whisky and glass photograph frames. We also request information about medical implants, particularly pacemakers, which can also explode.
