Salisbury Crematorium has now reopened to the public, following two months of essential works.

The closure, which took place during August and September 2024, allowed for crucial repairs and upgrades to the Crematorium's roof.

Funeral and memorial services were temporarily relocated to Salisbury’s historic Guildhall, a venue which provided an appropriate and respectful setting for bereaved families.

Salisbury City Council extended its deepest thanks to the Guildhall and Crematorium staff and all involved for their unwavering professionalism and support during this time.

The crematorium has served the local community for many years, offering a peaceful environment for families to gather and reflect.
