Woodvale crematorium (Brighton) fees

Woodvale Crematorium is operated by Brighton & Hove City Council – a separate crematorium from The Downs, which is privately run by Dignity and has its own, different (higher) fee schedule. If you’ve seen a £895 standard fee or a £795 morning-slot fee quoted for Brighton, those figures belong to The Downs, not Woodvale.

About this crematorium

Woodvale Crematorium is operated by Brighton & Hove City Council. It’s a separate site from The Downs Crematorium, a privately operated (Dignity) crematorium elsewhere in the city with its own, higher fee schedule (£895 standard). Check which site your funeral director has booked before comparing prices – the two crematoria’s fees aren’t interchangeable.
