About this crematorium
Overdale Crematorium opened in 1954 and is one of a smaller number of crematoria still run in-house by a local council rather than a private operator or memorial park group. Families who don’t need a full service can book the direct cremation option (£362) or the attended alternative with up to ten mourners present (£612) – both considerably below the standard £1,112 attended fee.
