Oakfield Gardens Crematorium

Oakfield Gardens in Steppingley, near Flitwick, is a 120-capacity crematorium designed by DT Architects Ltd and built by SMD Ltd for Central Bedfordshire Council. Opened in May 2024, it prioritizes sustainability and biodiversity. Hunter Douglas enhanced the eco-friendly design by supplying FSC-certified solid wood ceilings and cladding for both interior and exterior spaces.

European Oak and Accoya wood were used for soffits, walls, and façades, all fire-treated to meet safety standards. In the chapel, a custom solid wood grill ceiling adds warmth and elegance. Made-to-measure panels ensured a seamless installation, reducing time and cost.
