Chapel and grounds
Dundee Crematorium sits in four-and-a-half acres of woodland on the outskirts of the city. The chapel is equipped with an organ, tape and CD facilities, and a hearing loop system, and the site has disabled access throughout. A quiet waiting room is available for friends and relatives while they wait for the cortege, and the landscaped gardens of remembrance are open 365 days a year.
Chapel time is set by the slot you book: 30 minutes for the 9am and 5.30pm slots, and 60 minutes for every other slot – see the time-slot table above for the exact length that comes with your chosen time.

About this crematorium
Dundee Crematorium opened in 1936 and is operated by Dignity, one of the UK’s largest crematoria operators. Choosing an off-peak slot costs roughly £330–£500 less than the standard midday booking. The 4.30pm slot keeps the full 60-minute chapel time at the lower off-peak price; the 9am and 5.30pm slots are cheaper still, but run to 30 minutes rather than 60 (see the time-slot table above).
