Our Bereavement Care Service provides cremation, burial, memorial and bereavement services for both residents and non-residents of Stoke-on-Trent. We have one crematorium at Carmountside and nine cemeteries throughout the city. We are also responsible for the memorials in 23 closed churchyards.
The service operates from Carmountside Cemetery and Crematorium office, where most staff and grounds maintenance staff are based. All records relating to cremations, burials, and memorials are held in the main office, behind the chapel and crematorium building at Carmountside.

A virtual memorial web site has been created for family and friends to remember their loved ones online. The memories can simply be created by leaving messages in their memory or by passing on condolences to the family. Virtual memorials celebrate the individual and are a great way to bring together friends and family over large distances.
