Woking Crematorium, Grade II listed crematorium in Woking, England
The crematorium spans across ten acres of land with memorial gardens, a Chapel of Memory, and a dedicated Book of Remembrance room.
Sir Henry Thompson established this first custom-built crematorium in the United Kingdom in 1878, using land purchased from the London Necropolis Company.
The crematorium buildings incorporate thirteenth-century Gothic architectural elements, reflecting the need to gain public acceptance during the Victorian era.
Located on Hermitage Road in St Johns, the crematorium operates from Monday to Friday between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM with memorial services.
The first registered cremation in the facility occurred on March 26, 1885, after the legal framework for cremation was established in 1884.
