Crematorium Design and Development

If you’re looking for bespoke crematorium designs, you’ve come to the right place. The CDS Group can help you design a modern, sustainable crematorium utilising innovative products and new technologies to help make the development eco-friendly, sustainable and unique.

The UK cremation industry is one of the oldest in the world and is now the main choice for the majority of the UK population, with approximately 80% of people choosing cremation over burial based on the latest published figures. The UK industry is now extremely competitive with loved ones being able to choose from a wide range of services on offer from traditional to direct cremation.

With a number of new CDS designed crematoriums currently in construction and many others in various stages of development, our in house teams, which comprise:

• Architects
• Landscape Architects
• Engineers - Drainage, Civils and Geotechnical
• Planners
• Project Managers
• Quantity Surveyors
• Designers

Our inhouse teams combines the best of traditional and contemporary design to create a peaceful resting place for the departed and a calming environment for their visitors.

Our designs are equally functional and aesthetic, blending seamlessly into the landscape to create a place that families and loved ones will always feel comfortable visiting.

The CDS Group continues to push the boundaries of design and technology. We are committed to making future developments carbon neutral in line with the new government guidance and to achieving a biodiversity net gain. We help our clients achieve this by introducing new electric cremators which can be powered by renewable energy resources, so it produces 95% less carbon dioxide emissions than a gas cremator.

Whilst the design of crematorium buildings and ancillary structures play a huge role in the look and feel of anew development, it is the forming, shaping and planting of the surrounding landscape that ensures the building and the overall development has true empathy with its environment. Our in- house team of landscaping architects help to bring together the contemporary design and traditional styles of the buildings with the unique landscape of each site to create a beautiful, relaxing space, providing visitors with an environment that gives them time and space to connect.
