Honour every life.
Care for every family.
Baldarroch Crematorium is a calm, respectful setting in which to honour a life. Set in a peaceful rural location at Crathes, near Banchory, everything we do is designed to help families feel prepared, supported and unhurried.
Set in the peaceful countryside of Crathes, near Banchory, our chapel and crematorium offers a calm, dignified setting for families across North East Scotland, with a thoughtful team who help each service feel personal, prepared and unhurried.
A beautiful place
Baldarroch is set in a magnificent rural location just off the North Deeside Road (A93) at Crathes, near Banchory. The chapel has been carefully designed to feel calm, light and dignified, giving families a peaceful place to gather, reflect and say goodbye.
The building’s distinctive “falling leaf” design was created to reflect the circle of life, with architecture that sits gently within the surrounding Aberdeenshire countryside.
Visit or ask a question
Many people contact us before a service with practical questions about access, timings, music, visual tributes, memorials or visiting the chapel.
Whatever you need, our team will be happy to help. You are welcome to call, email or use the contact form and we will guide you gently from there.

We care for each service with respect, attention and calm, helping families and funeral directors feel supported from the first question through to the day itself.

Community
