Scattering of ashes in the Crematorium Gardens

Portchester Crematorium Gardens have been awarded a Gold Award in the 2025 "South & Southeast in Bloom" due to their natural beauty and this recognition reflects the great care and dedication of their grounds team.

After cremation, ashes can be scattered in the Crematorium Gardens which offer a peaceful and welcoming setting for families and visitors.
