Stonefall Crematorium — Peaceful Cremation Services in North Yorkshire

A caring crematorium serving Harrogate and the surrounding area

Stonefall Crematorium is located on Wetherby Road in Harrogate and provides a calm and dignified setting for cremation services.

It serves families from Harrogate, Knaresborough, Ripon, Wetherby and nearby communities across North Yorkshire. With established grounds and well-designed facilities, the crematorium offers a respectful environment for meaningful farewells.

Approximately 1000 Commonwealth troops who died in the Second World War are buried in the adjacent cemetery. This makes it one of the most significant Commonwealth War Graves Commission cemeteries in northern England.

The crematorium is set within mature landscaped grounds that include lawns, trees and memorial areas.

These surroundings create a sense of calm and privacy. Meanwhile, the open layout allows visitors to move comfortably through the grounds and find quiet spaces for reflection.

Seating is arranged to support comfort and dignity, while the flexible layout allows families to personalise the service to suit different beliefs and traditions.

Types of service available

Traditional full service cremations

Many families choose a full service in the chapel, including music, readings, tributes and moments of reflection. These services provide structure and support while allowing sufficient time to say goodbye without feeling rushed.

Simpler or short services

Shorter or more modest services are available for families who prefer a quieter approach. Although simpler in format, these services still offer dignity and care.

Direct cremation

Direct cremation may be available for families who do not wish to hold an attended service at the crematorium. In these cases, families often choose to arrange a separate memorial or celebration of life at a later date.
