The Oxford Crematorium and Garden of Remembrance in Bayswater Road were opened in May 1939 by the Oxford Crematorium Company. Although it is technically in Stanton St John, its postal address is Headington.

By 1967 more than 32,000 people had been cremated there. The grounds were extended in 1968, and a second chapel was built in 1976.
