Memoria North Oxfordshire Memorial Park & Crematorium

10/04/2026

We wanted to share a small update with our community about visiting our memorial park.
After careful thought, we will now be welcoming well-behaved dogs on site.

We understand this may feel like a change for some and we truly appreciate that everyone experiences our space in their own way. Our priority will always be to preserve the peaceful, respectful and comforting environment that means so much to the families who visit.

If you choose to bring your dog along, we kindly ask that a few simple guidelines are followed:

• Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times
• Please keep them clear of any memorial that does not belong to you
• Please clean up after them

With care and consideration for one another, we hope this will allow more people to spend time here in a way that feels right for them.

Thank you as always, for your understanding, kindness, and for helping us keep our grounds a peaceful place for everyone.

Treasure the memory of your loved one and keep them close with an ashes in glass home memorial. Hand blown by our award winning glass artists, our glass robin encases a small amount of cremation ashes in a small but perfectly formed robin complete with a striking red breast.

Our glass robin is a beautifully tactile ornament, fitting easily into your hand and weighty enough to serve as a paperweight. It also makes a perfect memorial gift for friends and family.

We believe funerals matter. They provide an important opportunity to come together, honour a life, and begin healing in a way that feels right for each family.

If you think there is only one way to have a funeral, think again. Today, families have more choice than ever in how they say goodbye. At Memoria North Oxfordshire, a cremation service can be shaped to truly reflect the person being remembered, whether that is through tradition, personal touches, or something entirely unique.

From subtle nods to heritage, favourite music, or a lifelong passion such as a football team, to fully customised tribute videos shown on our state of the art projection systems, we support services that feel personal and meaningful. In some cases, families even choose to incorporate a final journey that reflects a loved one’s life, such as a procession involving their cherished boat.

Our chapels are designed to accommodate both traditional services and more personal celebrations of life, offering flexibility while maintaining dignity, calm, and care.

When speaking with your funeral director, take time to discuss your wishes and the choices available. If you would like to visit our facilities or talk through the options, please contact our site team or speak with your funeral director for further guidance.

Our parkland grounds are cared for throughout the year, offering families a place to reflect, remember, and feel close to their loved ones. From quiet walks to moments of pause beside a memorial, these spaces are designed to offer comfort and reassurance.

To find out more about visiting, memorial options, or future planning, please contact our team or speak with your funeral director.

Do your loved ones know what your funeral wishes are?

We understand that this can be a difficult conversation to have, and it may not feel like the right time. However, taking small steps now can make a significant difference later. Even putting your wishes in writing and letting your loved ones know where to find them can help ease the burden when the time comes.

If you have a prepaid plan in place, it is still helpful for your family to understand what it includes, what it does not, and where important documents are kept. Having this clarity can offer reassurance at a time when decisions may feel overwhelming.

Your wishes do not have to be complicated. They may include a particular song or hymn, the flowers you would like, or whether you would prefer a celebration of life following a cremation or burial.
Knowing these details can bring comfort and confidence to those making arrangements on your behalf.

At Memoria North Oxfordshire, our state of the art chapel and beautifully maintained parkland grounds can accommodate a wide range of personal requests. To explore what is possible, speak with your funeral director or contact our team to arrange a visit.
