I bring many years of experience in the service industry to Woking Crematorium and I use that experience to ensure all our families have the experience and service they want. With the experience I’ve gained since I joined in 2020, I lead my team in providing a supportive and compassionate service to families. In my spare time, I enjoy sailing, gardening and DIY.

When not working, I enjoy cooking, dining out and family and friends.

Gardening Team
Kevin Best Head Gardener
I was happily promoted to Head Gardener early in my career with Woking Crematorium and have brought many ideas forward to improve the gardens now and for the future. I’ve been at the Crematorium since 2018 and really enjoy making sure the gardens are a beautiful and serene place for our families. I also enjoy fishing, craft ale and of course, gardening.
Kevin Burton Gardener
I’ve been working at the Crematorium since 2000 and am the longest serving member of staff. Having started in June of that year, I’ve honestly never considered working anywhere else as I love the job and the team I work with. I also enjoy fishing and craft ale in my spare time.

Mike Oliver Maintenance
I like to think that I’m highly experienced, capable and resourceful and I like to use all these attributes when maintaining the first and oldest crematorium in the country.
