What families say about Simplicity Cremations
Our Oxford crematorium
Alongside our crematorium in Oxford, we operate our own network of crematoria across the country.
Since opening its doors in 1939, our crematorium has served families in Oxford and the surrounding areas, giving their loved ones a beautiful farewell. The crematorium has also served the neighbouring areas of Headington, Horton-cum-Studley, Beckley, Wheatley, Kidlington, Yarnton and Sandford-on-Thames. Situated within 22 acres of stunning greenery, Oxford Crematorium blends seamlessly into the surrounding skyline. The Gardens of Remembrance provide a tranquil space for visitors and are renowned for their gorgeous daffodils.
The crematorium has two chapels which are suitable for all kinds of services, religious or non-religious, small or large. It also has disabled parking and toilets, wheelchair access, Braille service books and a hearing loop system. If you choose to have a funeral service, there is a waiting room where you, your friends and family can gather beforehand.
