The Park

The Park is Plymouth's new crematorium with café and wake facility now open

The brand new facility is surrounded by nature and provides a calm and comforting space for the people of Plymouth and surrounding areas to remember and pay tribute to their loved ones.

With a memorial meadow and a thoughtfully selected range of outdoor memorials for adults, there's also a dedicated children's memorial area.

Featuring its very own on-site cafe, The Park offers people the option of booking both a cremation and wake service or an event to suit what's right for you and your loved one at the right time. With two rooms available to book and an outdoor terrace option, The Cafe at The Park offers a practical and unique place to gather.

To support access to The Park for everyone, we are pleased to work with Access Plymouth who provide mobility solutions for older and disabled people to help them get out and about.

Facilities

The Park offers a modern, blank canvas embracing all faiths. The 17 acre site features a purpose built crematorium with three ceremony room options. Situated in a calm and peaceful setting and surrounded by a wild meadow, The Park offers dedicated memorial spaces including a children's memorial area, surrounded by nature, trees and running water.

Complemented by its own cafe and wake venue, The Park offers the people of Plymouth and beyond the chance to book a wake or event before or after the cremation service at the same location as the funeral (subject to availability).
