East Riding Crematorium

East Riding Crematorium East Riding Crematorium, otherwise known as Octon Crematorium, opened in May 1997 by Tony Warburton. We are more than a place of farewell.

We are a sanctuary of stillness,
where love is remembered and lives are honoured with grace.

There’s something incredibly peaceful about the wide skies and rolling hills at the top of the Yorkshire Wolds.
For families considering a meaningful memorial location, the higher points of the Wolds offer space, beauty and reflection.
We've got plenty of space and options for either yourself (as a pre paid memorial) or your loved ones.
Katy is available to discuss any questions you have over a cup of tea and biscuit, please give us a call on 01377 267604 or email eastriding.memorialoffice@thecmg.co.uk to arrange a meeting.

There are so many meaningful ways to add personal touches to a memorial garden, and we’re so pleased to now offer these beautiful bronze plaques 🤍

Designed to create a lasting tribute, each plaque can be personalised with a choice of shapes, fittings, colours, fonts and artwork, allowing you to create something truly unique for your loved one.

Crafted from bronze, they are not only timeless in appearance but incredibly durable too. Over time, bronze develops a rich natural patina while maintaining its strength, ensuring your tribute remains a lasting and fitting memorial for years to come 🌿

If you’d like to find out more, our team is always here to help.

A forever kind of memory.
A name held gently in place.
A story remembered.
A love that doesn’t fade. 🕊️

Memorials are more than a marker, they’re a lasting connection, carried forward through time; a memory, a story, forever aligned. 🕊️

Don't hesitate to contact us about our beautiful memorial gardens or any other memorial options. 🌻

It was a privilege to spend some time at Wear Valley Crematorium recently.
It’s always nice to be able to help out where needed. The work they do every day is handled with such compassion and professionalism, and it truly makes a difference to so many families.
The grounds are absolutely lovely as well — peaceful, well-kept, and a real credit to everyone involved in maintaining them. It’s a calm and respectful place that offers comfort during difficult times.
Thank you to the whole team for being so welcoming

A reminder, just for you:

✨ You are strong
✨ You are capable
✨ You are valued
✨ You matter more than you know

Sometimes kindness is something small - a pause, a smile, a few kind words. We hope this moment brings a little light to your day 🤍

Our grounds offer space not only for reflection, but for nature too 🕊️🌿

When you next visit us look out for:

- Tweeting birds in their nests
- Green buds starting to appear
- Foxes, squirrels, butterflies, and other passing wildlife
- Sunlight dancing through the tree branches (we can hope for sun at least!)

We're so proud to have such a peaceful setting here, where remembrance and nature exist side by side 💛

Delicately crafted and a beautiful, intricate floral design 🩷🍃

These urns and keepsakes, finished in soft pastel tones, offer a quiet and personal option for remembrance.

The larger urn is suitable for a full set of ashes, while the smaller urn is designed to hold a portion, making it a gentle choice when several family members wish to have a keepsake of their own. The heart keepsake allows space for a small token of ashes or a lock of hair - a simple, meaningful way to keep someone close.

This is just one of many carefully considered memorial options, created to rest peacefully in a home or another place that feels right. We have a variety of other beautifully designed options available too. If you would like to see any other designs don't hesitate to contact us. We'd be honoured to support you. 🩷
