What is cremation?
Cremation is a process that uses extreme heat to turn the remains of a loved one who has passed into ashes, also known as cremated remains.
If you choose to have your service at Bournemouth Crematorium or Poole Crematorium (Halo Ceremony Hall), your loved one will be cremated in the crematory at Bournemouth Crematorium.
For services at Poole Crematorium, your loved one will be conveyed with dignity and respect to Bournemouth Crematorium into the care of the crematory team for cremation.
