Easy access from surrounding areas

The crematorium sits on the A19 corridor and benefits from direct access via Acklam Road. As a result, families travelling from across Teesside can reach the site easily by car.

Additionally, the clear approach roads and dedicated entrance help reduce stress on the day of the service.

Peaceful and well-kept grounds

Teesside Crematorium is set within mature landscaped grounds that include lawns, trees and planted borders. These surroundings create a quiet and reflective atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the open layout allows visitors to move comfortably through the site and find moments of calm both during and after services.

Chapel and facilities

Chapel style and capacity

The chapel at Teesside Crematorium offers seating for larger gatherings while remaining suitable for smaller, more intimate services.

Its neutral interior design allows families to personalise ceremonies to reflect individual beliefs, traditions and wishes.

Music, tributes and personalisation

A modern music system supports a wide selection of hymns, classical pieces and contemporary songs.

Furthermore, families may include readings, spoken tributes or visual presentations to help reflect the life and personality of the person being remembered. These options allow each service to feel personal and meaningful.

Accessibility and visitor comfort

The crematorium provides step-free access throughout key areas.

Disabled parking bays are positioned close to the chapel entrance, and accessible toilet facilities are available on site. In addition, waiting areas offer a quiet space for families and guests to gather before or after the service.

Memorial gardens and remembrance options

Thoughtfully designed grounds

The memorial gardens are arranged to provide peaceful spaces for reflection throughout the year. Pathways, benches and landscaped planting encourage visitors to spend time remembering loved ones in a calm and supportive setting.

Memorial choices

Families can choose from a range of memorial options, including ashes interment plots, memorial plaques, stones and other permanent tributes within the grounds.

These options allow families to select a memorial that feels appropriate and lasting.

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 also available for families who prefer a quieter approach. Although simpler in format, these services still maintain 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, gathering or celebration of life at a later date.

Visiting information and parking

Opening hours and facility access

The crematorium grounds are open throughout the year, allowing families flexibility when visiting memorial areas.

The bereavement services office is open on weekdays to assist with funeral arrangements, memorial enquiries and general support.

Free on-site parking

Teesside Crematorium provides free on-site parking for visitors, including clearly marked accessible bays near the chapel entrance. Plenty of free overflow parking is also available both at the cemetery and also on the road.

This helps ensure that attending services and visiting memorials remains straightforward for those travelling by car.
