Steeped in history and with a special place in the hearts of the Paisley community, the Martyrs Chapel underwent a major renovation in 2020 and is now a comfortable, non-denominational, warm and peaceful place for funeral services.

Martyrs Chapel can comfortably seat up to 50 mourners and is fully accessible.

Woodside Crematorium

With scenic views from the top of the hill Woodside Chapel is non-denominational and welcomes all. For generations local families have gathered here to say a final farewell and found comfort walking in the beautiful grounds and gardens of remembrance.

Woodside Crematorium can host up to 200 mourners and is fully accessible.

Our Heritage & Grounds

Woodside Cemetery was designed by Stuart Murray, curator of Glasgow Botanic Gardens, and opened in 1845. It’s stunning 20 acre grounds, tree lined pathways and remembrance gardens were inspired by The Glasgow Necropolis. Almost a century later, in 1938, local architect James Steel Maitland designed the purpose built crematorium at the top of the hill with stunning views across Paisley. To date over 119,000 funerals have taken place here and in 2020 Martyr’s Chapel underwent significant refurbishment to become a modern committal and service hall.
