Charlton Park Crematorium
Our state-of-the-art building nestles in a mature parkland setting that creates a real sense of privacy and calm.
Important information: temporary closure
Charlton Park and its grounds are temporarily closed while it is developed and enhanced to ensure we have the very best facilities and can continue to give the families we serve the very best care. The work is expected to continue until late October 2024, and our services will not be available until then.
How does our funeral cover compare?
Since December 2018 our unattended direct cremations take place at our very own crematorium. This means we can offer unrivalled continuity of care - from the first phone call to the hand delivery or scattering of the ashes.
Quality care every step of the way
Our own carefully trained people look after you and your loved one from the first telephone call through to the hand delivery of the ashes.
We designed, built and operate Charlton Park Crematorium, in Hampshire, to ensure seamless and consistent care. This is where clients from England and Wales are cared for and their unattended cremations take place.
If you would like to attend, we offer a 20-minute farewell with up to 12 attendees and music of your choice, for an additional charge of £250 (some restrictions apply). Committals at other venues are only available 9am Mon – Fri - for an extra £700.

Complete peace of mind
You can ask us about anything that matters to you. We want you to have complete confidence in the care your loved one receives, the identity of the ashes that are returned and even how we manage our impact on the planet.
Thoughtful technology
Every step of your loved one's journey is carefully recorded via a hospital-standard system. This means we can always give you accurate information about their care and present location.
Tangible reassurance
We use a ceramic token to confirm the identity of each set of ashes. This token is presented within the biodegradable ashes container so you can be sure the correct ashes have been returned to you.
Environmentally aware
We use the latest cremation and filtration equipment to ensure that the air emitted from our crematorium is extremely clean. We’ve chosen a cellulose ashes container instead of using plastic urns and we consider the way we consume and conserve energy throughout the business. Carbon Footprint Report 2022

Can you take over from another funeral director?
Yes. We do this quite often.
You have the right to change your mind, even if a local funeral home has already brought your loved one into their care.
Just tell the funeral director that you want to instruct Pure Cremation to take over. Ask what they are going to charge for the care delivered so far (we can add this to our bill to keep things simple for you).
We will work with the funeral director for a smooth and professional transfer of care.
