Funeral Flowers for Daldowie Crematorium

Mourners travelling out to Daldowie leave the city along the M74 and arrive, around twenty minutes from central Glasgow, at a crematorium set in wooded estate grounds near Uddingston, close to the River Clyde on the city's eastern edge.

Glasgow City Council runs the venue, with Linn on the south side as its companion site, and the motorway junctions nearby make Daldowie the natural choice for families from Shettleston, Baillieston, Tollcross and Mount Vernon as well as from Uddingston, Bothwell, Hamilton and a wide stretch of Lanarkshire.

Mature trees and gardens of remembrance give the place a calmer feel than an urban crematorium, and the notes below deal with the practical side of flowers for a service held here.

Flower Policy

Tributes of every familiar kind come out to Daldowie, a spray made for the top of the coffin, a traditional wreath, a hand-tied posy, lettering that spells a name, and only a piece of unusual scale or complexity needs the funeral director to check with the venue before the order is settled.

Your florist delivers in advance of the start time, agreeing the window without involving the family, and once the committal is over the flowers are carried out for mourners to walk among and read; pieces you would like kept, or given to a local cause, should be flagged with the funeral director before the day.

Delivery Guidance

To route an order correctly, give the person who has died their full name on the paperwork, state when the service begins, and write the destination out as Daldowie Crematorium, near Uddingston, Glasgow, taking care to distinguish it from Linn, the council's other crematorium.

Shops in Uddingston, Bothwell, Baillieston, Shettleston and Hamilton make the delivery routinely, and florists in Glasgow itself cover the site as well.

An alternative many families prefer is letting the funeral home hold the tribute overnight, so that it leaves with the cortège and the morning holds no deadlines.

Access & Directions

By car, Daldowie is reached from the London Road/Hamilton Road corridor (A74) on Glasgow's eastern fringe, near the M74 and M73 junctions, and there is parking at the crematorium itself.

No railway station lies within walking distance, Uddingston station is a short taxi ride off, so the great majority of mourners arrive by car.

From the centre of Glasgow, the run east along the M74 generally takes about twenty minutes.
