We offer cremation, funeral and burial services all set in a beautifully located park with manicured gardens and restful country views.
There is ample space at North Oxfordshire Crematorium and Memorial Park which also has permission for natural burials, should you wish.
The chapel is warm and comfortable and has unique facilities to enhance a celebration of life service. The chapel seats up to 100 people and services are available in 1-hour time slots. If you’re looking for a space where catering can also be arranged, North Oxfordshire Crematorium and Memorial Park also has the Churchill Pavilion which can offer these events. There is also ample car parking for guests.
Service times can be extended upon request. Services can also be arranged at weekends, depending on availability.
Whether you are faced with arranging a funeral now for someone you love, or you would like to put plans in place for your own funeral in the future, we are here to help you shape a farewell that truly reflects the life being remembered.
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 Personal cremation service for close family and friends, held at an off-peak time to be cost-effective, or a larger Celebration of Life for a bigger farewell without time of day restrictions. 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. While there’s no service, 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, with our chapel attendant bowing a goodbye to every single coffin.
If you’re thinking about the future, a prepaid funeral plan allows you to arrange and pay for your funeral ahead of time, giving you peace of mind and clarity about your wishes.
We offer a range of prepaid funeral plans designed to suit different needs, preferences, and budgets. Whether you would like a service or a simple, unattended direct cremation, your wishes will be clearly recorded and followed when the time comes.
We have two options here, the Personal Plan is ideal for those wanting a smaller simple service for close friends and family, held at an off-peak time to keep costs as low as possible. Alternatively the Celebration of Life Plan can be a fuller affair with no limitations on number of attendees or time restrictions. Both options allow for personal touches, including the choice of hearse, limousines, music, and floral tributes. The service may be led by family members, or you can choose to include an officiant within the plan.
This plan includes all that is needed for a simple direct cremation, with nothing further for your family to pay. Although there is no service, you can be assured that your funeral will be conducted with dignity, respect, and the highest standard of care.
Dealing with the loss of a loved one can be difficult. There are a few services in and around Banbury that can help.

Depending on eligibility, you may qualify for the government’s Funeral Expenses Payment, up to £1000, to pay towards a loved one’s funeral.
If your loved one left funds in their bank account for their funeral, banks will often release funds in order to cover expenses.
A direct cremation is a simple cremation without a service or mourners present. Your loved one is cared for with dignity, the cremation takes place, and the ashes are either returned to you or scattered, depending on your wishes. Many families choose this option because it allows them to say goodbye in their own way and at a time that feels right.
A standard direct cremation is unattended. However, at Memoria we offer options for a small, private farewell at the crematorium if you wish to be present. This means you can still have a moment of reflection without the cost or formality of a traditional funeral.
Our direct cremation costs start from £1,195, with no hidden fees. The price includes collection, care, cremation, and the provision or scattering of ashes. Optional extras, such as hand delivery of ashes, are also available.
All cremations are carried out at one of Memoria Funerals crematoria across the UK. While it may not always be the nearest to your home, you can be assured the same high standard of care at every location.
After the cremation, we can return the ashes to you in a simple container, arrange hand delivery, or scatter them in the crematorium’s gardens of remembrance. We’ll discuss the options with you so you can choose what feels most meaningful.
