About this crematorium
Southend Crematorium opened in 1953 and is council-run rather than privately operated. Families who want a simple send-off without a full memorial service have two lower-cost routes: the committal-only option with mourners present (£880), or a fully unattended direct cremation (£325) with the ashes returned or scattered afterwards.
