Grimsby Crematorium opened in 1954, [2] and went through an extensive renovation in 2025, which included the opening of a new tea-room, 'Reflections', in the former Crematorium Lodge. Further improvements include extensions to the original building to provide function rooms and the launch of the Treasured Memories pet crematorium. [3]
The main chapel has capacity for about 145 seated mourners [2] with additional standing space for larger gatherings while the balcony provides seating for about 23 more. The chapel is non-denominational and is for those of any faith or none. Web casts are available for transmission to mourners unable to attend services. [4] There are two chapels in addition to memorial facilities including vaults, plaques on benches, a memorial wall and gardens of remembrance. Ashes can be scattered in the crematorium's extensive grounds. There is a physical Book of Remembrance which can also be viewed online. [5]
