Crematoria

Overview

Horizon Cremation is a modern, independent cremation company with a growing network of facilities across the UK. As part of our long-term partnership which commenced in 2018, we not only designed and manage their main corporate website but also built and continue to host and optimise the dedicated websites for their three crematoria: Clyde Coast & Garnock Valley, Cannock Chase, and The Hurlet.

Each site is carefully tailored to reflect the unique character and setting of its location, while maintaining consistency with the Horizon Cremation overall brand identity. This multi-site approach ensures that every crematorium benefits from a dignified, accessible, and reliable digital presence, while also being part of a cohesive group-wide online strategy.

The Challenge

The challenge was multi-layered:

  • Horizon required a corporate brand website to showcase their mission, values, and expansion plans — a site that positioned them as a modern, people-first organisation in what is traditionally a conservative sector.

  • Each crematorium also needed its own dedicated website, designed with a local identity and content tailored to its community, while still maintaining consistency with the Horizon brand.

  • The digital ecosystem had to be scalable, allowing new crematorium sites to be added seamlessly as Horizon continues to expand.

  • The sites needed to balance sensitivity and clarity, providing practical information for families during difficult times while remaining approachable and easy to navigate.

  • Horizon also required managed hosting, ongoing maintenance, and SEO optimisation across all sites, ensuring performance, security, and strong local search visibility.

This wasn’t just one website project, but the creation of a long-term digital framework for a growing national organisation.

Our Solution

We worked closely with Horizon to create:

  • A corporate Horizon Cremation website with clean, modern design and content that reflects professionalism and compassion.

  • Three fully bespoke crematorium websites — Clyde Coast & Garnock Valley, Cannock Chase, and The Hurlet — each tailored with local imagery, service details, and regional SEO.

  • A multi-site structure that allows Horizon to efficiently add and manage future crematorium websites.

  • Responsive, user-friendly design across all devices, ensuring accessibility for every visitor.

  • Full managed hosting and maintenance, giving Horizon peace of mind with reliable uptime, security, and support.

  • SEO implementation to help both the corporate site and each crematorium rank highly for relevant local search terms.

Results

The Horizon project delivered an entire digital ecosystem:

  • A central corporate hub that communicates Horizon’s ethos and unites the brand.

  • Three local crematorium websites that provide communities with clear, accessible, and compassionate information.

  • A scalable platform designed for future expansion as Horizon opens new crematoria.

  • Strong search visibility, ensuring local families can quickly find their nearest crematorium online.

  • Seamless ongoing hosting and care, with every site kept secure, updated, and performing at its best.

Why It Matters

Horizon entrusted us with this project because of our ability to handle large-scale, multi-site builds while still delivering the sensitivity and detail required in the funeral sector. Our partnership has become a long-term collaboration, ensuring that as Horizon grows, their digital presence continues to grow with them.
