About the company

The Hurlet Crematorium is part of Horizon Cremation, the trading name of Horizon Ceremonies Limited. It was named Scotland's Best Crematorium at the 2022 and 2024 Funeral Awards. The crematorium is set within 15 acres of open countryside with panoramic views across the Hurlet Hills. It uses environmentally advanced cremation technology, offsets its fuel carbon and uses renewably sourced electricity. It plants a tree for every family and every service it holds.

The crematorium is a member of the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management and participates in its Recycling of Metals Scheme. Through this scheme, it donated £17,000 to St Vincent's Hospice and £10,000 to The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice. It held its first Baby Loss Awareness service in October as part of Baby Loss Awareness Week. Services include cremation, memorials, webcast viewing and personalised ceremonies with music, photographs and films.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Families arranging services for a parent, a partner or a child describe the Hurlet as a calm and peaceful setting, with a light, airy building and outlooks across open countryside that several reviewers single out as helping them through a difficult day. The reception area and memorial garden come up often as places where the atmosphere felt tranquil rather than clinical. Staff are portrayed as welcoming, respectful and attentive from the first enquiry through to the day itself, with one family noting that a member of the team wore a blue ribbon to match a late wife's wishes.

Seating for a small family gathering was rearranged to suit younger children, and services were described as running to schedule and professionally led. A funeral celebrant who has conducted services there speaks of the same care and professionalism. The landscaped grounds are kept well maintained, and the modern building is described as accessible with parking available, with one reviewer advising arrival in good time when a large congregation is anticipated. A consistent account emerges of considerate, unhurried help at every stage.

The place was lovely and views too. Unfortunately once the body was lowered there was a distinct burning smell which went on for the whole period of the congregation queuing to exit , which ruined the whole thing. I can’t recommend this crematorium , it saddened me greatly, who wants to smell their loved one burning .

It was the perfect send-off for my dad. The place was beautiful, with a lovely peaceful backdrop — even the cows in the background made it feel special and calm. Everything ran so smoothly from start to finish, and I was able to collect Dad’s ashes the next day. I can’t thank everyone enough for making such a difficult day feel so meaningful.

I have been to a few services at the Hurlet Crematorium, it is lovely crematorium with a beautiful setting, the main reception has a beautiful view which creates a calm and peaceful atmosphere. The staff are wonderful and nothing is too much for them to help your loved one be remembered the way you wish. The grounds and memorial gardens are well maintained and peaceful.

As a funeral celebrant, I must say The Hurlet Crematorium is one of the nicest, if not the nicest, crematoriums I've had the honour of conducting a service in. It's light, bright, airy, and spacious, and there is a beautiful calmness and peace about the place, both within its grounds and garden and inside. The staff are professional, personable, and attentive. It is easy to appreciate why the Hurlet has been voted Scotland's Best Crematorium. It's full marks from me. Keep up the great work, everyone!

The Hurlet Crematorium is a beautiful and peaceful place, with a stunning memorial garden and breathtaking views over the fields. These surroundings create a sense of calm that makes difficult moments feel just a little easier. All the staff at Hurlet are incredible. We said our goodbyes to my uncle here, and throughout the entire process, they were kind, supportive, and attentive to every detail. As a funeral celebrant, I’ve also had the privilege of working alongside the team at Hurlet. Their dedication and compassion shine through in everything they do, ensuring every service is handled with care and respect. They truly put their hearts and souls into their work, and I can’t recommend them highly enough.
