Serving families in Ashford and across Kent, the crematorium sits within a tranquil memorial park where landscaped gardens and open countryside views help create a calm, comforting setting. Inside, the chapel is bright, modern and welcoming – a dignified space in which families can come together to honour a life and share personal tributes.
Guests are seated comfortably in the chapel, and services are usually arranged in one-hour time slots so families have the time and privacy they need to remember and reflect.
If more time is needed, service times can be extended on request, and depending on availability, services may also be arranged outside standard opening hours, including at weekends.
Memoria Faversham and Mid Kent has been awarded the Greener Globe Trusted Crematorium Platinum Award, the highest level of accreditation for environmental sustainability, following a thorough independent audit by qualified sustainability assessors.
Caring for the environment runs through all we do, and we’re proud to lead the way in greener funeral choices. Our electric cremator was a UK first, and we continue to review our environmental performance every year to reduce emissions and minimise our impact.
By choosing one of our platinum-accredited crematoria, families can be confident they are making a more environmentally responsible choice and helping to reduce their carbon footprint.

A meaningful farewell matters, whether you are arranging a funeral for a loved one today or you are planning your own funeral in advance, we are here to help with both.
If someone has died, we’ll take care of all the arrangements as quickly as needed, supporting you to create a fitting send-off with or without a service while looking after your loved one with the utmost respect.
If you are considering planning ahead, our prepaid funeral plans enable you to organise and fund your funeral in advance. This means your preferences are clearly set out, the costs are secured, and your family is spared additional worry at an already difficult time.
From the moment you contact us to the day of the funeral and in the time that follows, we will be by your side with continued support.
When someone has just passed away, it can feel overwhelming. Our role is to ease the practical pressures, managing the arrangements on your behalf while ensuring your loved one is cared for with compassion and respect.
We believe every funeral should be as unique as the person it’s for. We will help you plan a farewell that feels appropriate, whether that is a modest family-led ceremony, a traditional attended service, or a no-fuss direct cremation with no attendees.
Arrange a funeral with a service on a day and time that suits your family. Your dedicated funeral planner will take care of every detail, ensuring the arrangements reflect your wishes, including music choices and any special requests.
We offer flexible options, whether you would prefer a smaller, more intimate cremation service for close family and friends or a larger gathering. Each funeral can be adapted to meet your preferences and budget. Additional features such as a hearse, limousine, or officiant are available should you wish to include them.
A direct cremation is ideal for those who don’t like funerals or who don’t want a fuss. Although there is no service, you can rest assured your funeral will be carried out to the highest standard by our funeral directors and staff. We treat those in our care with the utmost respect, and our chapel attendant bows a goodbye to every single coffin.
It can also be a good choice for families who would prefer to say goodbye in their own way and in their own time, or for those who are unable to come together for a funeral.
If you are looking to the future, a prepaid funeral plan allows you to arrange and pay for your funeral ahead of time, giving you peace of mind and certainty about your wishes.
We offer a range of prepaid funeral plans to suit different needs, preferences and budgets. Whether you would like a funeral service for family and friends to pay their respects, or a simple, unattended direct cremation, your wishes will be clearly recorded and followed when the time comes.
Flexible payment options are available, allowing you to pay for your plan upfront in one payment or spread the cost over monthly instalments, subject to eligibility.
There are two options to choose from. The Personal Plan suits those wanting a smaller, simple service for close friends and family, held at an off-peak time to keep costs as low as possible.
The Celebration of Life Plan allows for a fuller occasion, with no limits on the number of attendees and no time restrictions. Both plans allow for personal touches, including the choice of hearse, limousines, music and floral tributes, and the service may be led by family members or by an officiant.
This plan covers everything needed for a simple direct cremation, with nothing further for your family to pay. While there is no service, you can be confident your funeral will be conducted with dignity, respect and the highest standard of care.
Losing someone can leave you feeling isolated, but help is closer than you might think. Your GP or a community organisation in Maidstone can put you in touch with bereavement support available across Kent.

If you receive certain benefits, you may be able to claim the Government’s Funeral Expenses Payment. It can cover burial or cremation fees, essential travel and the certificates you need, and contributes up to £1,000 towards other funeral costs.
You may also find that if your loved one had savings held in a bank account, the bank will release money from it to help settle funeral costs.

At Faversham and Mid Kent Memorial Park & Crematorium, prices start from £2,045 for an attended funeral or £1,195 for a direct cremation, and your personal funeral director will clearly explain every cost involved.
Yes. A prepaid funeral plan allows you to record the type of funeral you would like and make financial arrangements in advance. Planning ahead can give you more control over the details and reduce the number of decisions your family may need to make later. Our team will explain what is included and whether any additional charges could apply.
There is a wide choice of on-site memorial options at Faversham and Mid Kent Memorial Park & Crematorium, including avenue trees, memorial bird baths, benches and memorial plaques, all set within the peaceful memorial park and its outdoor memorial gardens. Our crematoria teams, especially the groundsmen who tend the gardens and care for the memorials, remain there to support you for weeks, months and years afterwards.
Most cremations are arranged within 7 to 10 days from registration of the death, although this can vary depending on crematorium availability, completion of paperwork, and family preferences. If you need more time, arrangements can often be made to suit your schedule.
