Worthing Crematorium

Worthing Crematorium is owned and administered by Worthing Borough Council. It is ideally situated just 9 miles from the centre of Worthing on a secluded country estate of 42 acres (see history), of which 9½ acres have been developed as Gardens of Remembrance including the Wall of Remembrance and Open Book.

As only a small part has been developed the remainder is original woodland which enhance the tranquil atmosphere of the grounds. Vibrant swathes of daffodils and other wild flowers appear during the spring and a wide variety of birds and animals visit the area year round. For views of the Crematorium and grounds please see the photos below.

We pride ourselves on excellent customer service and ensuring we have a range of options for everyone. This website outlines the services we offer, what options are available and gives a guide to what to consider when arranging a funeral.
