Maryhill Crematorium

Can anyone tell me if there was/is a crematorium in the Maryhill District of Glasgow and, if so, what is/was its official name. I have a relative who was apparently cremated there in 1950, her ashes being dispersed thereafter in the Garden of Remembrance.

The Maryhill Crematorium does exist and is in (I think) Tresta Road Maryhill - it is claimed to be one of the oldest crematoriums in the UK.

just checked it's official name and address may come under
"The Scottish Cremation Society
Glasgow Crematorium, Tresta Road
Glasgow
G23 5AA"

Falkryn's quite right - there is indeed a crematorium in Maryhill.

It's either known as Glasgow or Maryhill Crematorium and sits within the grounds of the Western Necropolis at Tresta Road, Glasgow G23 5AA

Telephone: 0141-946 2895

They have an online Book of Remembrance which I think you have to register to see: http://www.remembranceonline.co.uk/mtre ... rematorium

The Garden of Remembrance & Columbarium are tucked away and unless you know of their existance, you'd probably walk right past the wee entrance.

P.S. I replied to your post on Rootschat too!
