About Woking Crematorium
Woking Crematorium sits on Hermitage Road in a peaceful suburban setting, surrounded by mature woodland that provides a natural sense of privacy and reflection. The crematorium grounds offer quiet dignity for families gathering before services, with well-maintained gardens that change gently with the seasons. The building itself maintains the understated, respectful character typical of mid-20th century crematorium design, whilst the surrounding trees help create a buffer from the everyday bustle of Woking's residential areas.
The location proves convenient for families planning to gather afterwards, with Woking's town centre and various hospitality venues just a short drive away. The crematorium's position means most wake venues can be reached within ten to fifteen minutes, allowing elderly relatives and those less confident with driving time to travel between locations without undue stress. Parking is generally available on site, and the level access from car park to chapel entrance helps accommodate wheelchairs and walking aids comfortably.
