About Us

Carleton Crematorium near Carleton Village in Blackpool was opened in 1935 to cater to the local community. The crematorium building which is within the grounds of Carleton Cemetery was designed by architect J.C Robinson who used the Mausoleum of Mausolus as inspiration. The crematorium and cemetery is well-known for a number of famous cremations, including conservationist and children’s book writer, Beatrix Potter.

For an ever lasting memorial to your loved one, you can add an entry into the Book of Remembrance held in the Book of Remembrance room in the Crematorium building.
