South Ayrshire Council's Registration and Bereavement Services would like to give you an opportunity to comment on the level of service you received.

Set in seven acres of countryside on the eastern edge of Ayr town. Masonhill Crematorium was built by the community in 1966 and has served the community for over thirty years.

The impressive chapel, tastefully decorated, will seat up to 155 with room for many more standing. There is also a large and comfortable waiting room.

The grounds tended by our own staff, are laid mainly to lawn and provide a peaceful setting overlooking farmland to the surrounding hills.

Within our grounds we provide the facilities to commemorate the life of the departed by some form of memorial as required by their family and friends.

There is a range of memorial options available for dedication including wall plaques, benches, rosebed, shrubs and trees.

We will be pleased to offer our advice and services both when arranging a funeral and when deciding the final resting place of the cremated remains.

Our staff are committed to providing everyone attending the highest standards of service and presentation and the crematorium has been recognised for its high standards by winning an award at the prestigious Cemetery Of The Year Awards, having been judged by industry experts.

South Ayrshire Council is a member of the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management. Here is our guiding principles.

It is always in your best interest to make a will and let your family and friends know your wishes.

We actively encourage visitors to come behind the scenes and see the workings of the crematorium, either on open days or by appointment.
