Mortonhall Crematorium, Category A listed crematorium in south Edinburgh, Scotland
Mortonhall Crematorium stands within mature woodland grounds, featuring white calcined flint aggregate concrete blocks arranged in distinct patterns with angled fins.
The Edinburgh City Council commissioned architects Spence, Glover and Ferguson in 1960 to design this facility, which opened its doors in February 1967.
The main chapel accommodates 250 people while the Pentland Chapel holds 50, serving multiple religious denominations with customizable funeral ceremonies.
Located at 30B Howdenhall Road, the facility provides various service options, including full ceremonies, simple morning services, and direct cremations without ceremonies.
The architectural design draws inspiration from Coventry Cathedral, incorporating tall glazed windows that maximize natural light throughout the main chapel space.
