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.

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 🤍

Random Acts of Kindness Day 💫

Signs of spring are on the way 🌸🌼 and we’d love to know…

Which flower are you most looking forward to seeing appear? 💐

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. 🩷

Brighter days are on their way and before we know it the flowers will be in bloom! The sunset will start to gradually move forward and this is how the next few months will look ☀️🌱

- February - the sun begins to set after 5.30pm

- March - evenings draw out towards 6.30pm (and suddenly feel much lighter)

- April - daylight lingers until around 8pm

- May - long, calm evenings arrive, with sunsets close to 9pm

We can't wait to see those fresh green shoots and watch the grounds burst into colour - the quiet sense of renewal that comes with the changing season and a reminder that brighter days, in every sense, are always ahead. 🌸🌿

💚 Time to Talk – Mental Health Awareness Day 💚

Some days are easy. Some days are not.

Today, we remember that mental health affects us all, and that no one should face it alone.

Take a moment to reach out, listen, or simply say: "I’m here for you."

A small conversation can be the first step toward hope, understanding, and healing.

Together, we can break the silence and end the stigma.

World Cancer Day 🌍🎗️

Today, we stand together to raise awareness, show solidarity, and honour everyone affected by cancer - those living with it, those who have lost someone they love, and those who continue to care and support others every day.

World Cancer Day is a reminder of the importance of awareness, early action, compassion and continued progress in research, treatment and care. By talking, sharing and standing together, we help shine a light on the impact cancer has on so many lives and make a difference to the future.

Today, and every day, we stand up to cancer with remembrance, hope and unity. 💛
