Arranging a cremation

To arrange a cremation and service at Barnsley Crematorium you can contact us by emailing bereavementservices@barnsley.gov.uk.

If you're using a funeral director they'll often contact us on your behalf. We'll provide you with the forms to arrange a cremation, or you can download them here:

If you're arranging a cremation you're welcome to visit our office. You can also spend some time in our Garden of Remembrance or see the chapel.

Use of our chapel is included in the price of the cremation; extra time can be purchased in advance. Please see our price list of charges for cremations, memorials and urns.

Choosing a memorial

Please read our information about the range of available memorials at the crematorium. You can also see our price list of charges. We have brochures at our crematorium office and can give you advice about choosing a memorial.  

Interring ashes at a cemetery

You can have ashes interred in any one of the 21 cemeteries that we own. This can be either in cremation plots or in an existing family grave. Please read our information about cemeteries and see our price list of charges.

Hoyland columbarium

Our cemetery at Hoyland has a columbarium with niches for cremated remains. Each niche has a space for two urns and is sealed with a plaque with an inscription.  

You can lease a niche for a set period of time. Please see our price list of charges for further details.
