About Horizon Ceremonies

Horizon Ceremonies is the developer and manager of modern, community-centric crematoria designed to offer a more compassionate and accessible alternative to traditional facilities.

Founded in 2016, Maven investment has helped Horizon established itself as one of the UK’s most respected independent crematorium operators. The business currently operates three high-quality, purpose-built facilities in Clyde Coast & Garnock Valley (CCGV), Glasgow (The Hurlet), and Cannock in the West Midlands, with additional sites planned to expand its national footprint.

The sale to a major UK pension fund with more than £30 billion in assets under management generated a total return of 2.99x, including deferred consideration*.
