A Father's Day memorial service, led by celebrant David Somerville, will take place at 1pm.
Families who wish to be included in a slideshow during the service are invited to submit a photo of their loved one via email to bishopbriggs@westerleighgroup.co.uk.
No advanced booking is required for the service, and refreshments will be available during the day.
Lisa Somerville, crematorium assistant, said: "Visitors are also welcome to put Father's Day cards into our Letters to Loved Ones memorial post box.
"Cards will be provided by us.
"Since installing the memorial post box, we've received heartfelt feedback from the bereaved, who say that writing and sending messages to their loved ones brings them great comfort and helps them feel a continued sense of connection."
The crematorium is open to anyone wishing to remember their loved ones during the Father's Day period, regardless of whether there is a memorial to their father or father figure in the grounds, or where their loved one's funeral took place.
It does not matter if someone is recently bereaved or suffered a loss some time ago, and it makes no difference where they live.
Lisa added: "Much like Christmas and Mother's Day, Father's Day can be a particularly poignant time when feelings of loss are felt more deeply.
"We want everyone to know they are warmly welcome to pay tribute to their loved ones at our crematorium.
"The crematorium offers lots of memorialisation options which enable the bereaved to have a long-lasting tribute to those they have lost."
Coinciding with Father's Day, a special offer is also available until Sunday, July 6, enabling families who purchase a 50-year lease on a living memorial to receive a complimentary bronze or granite name marker (terms and conditions apply).
This tribute can be dedicated to a father or father figure, or any other loved one people would like to honour.
More information about Father's Day, the special offer, other events, and the services available can be found on the Bishopbrigg's Crematorium website.

How dads say 'I love you' without saying it
Six in ten Brits insist that their mum says 'I love you' more often and more freely than their dad. But actions speak louder, according to the poll, with 61 per cent insisting they know how much dad cares, by the small things he does to help out. Among the list of dad's love language gestures include, giving advice on practical things, such as which car to buy, looking after the grandchildren and helping put up shelves or flat pack furniture. Bringing you a cup of tea, taking your car to get fixed, mowing your lawn and standing with you at the BBQ are other key ways many dads continue to show love to their adult children. While 16 per cent say their father STILL picks them up from the pub if they've had too many, and 17 per cent say he will sit and watch films and cartoons with the grandkids. The research, from Bloom & Wild polled the nation and discovered that six in ten Brits say that while mum says 'I love you' more often, their dad has a unique love language that is rooted in deeds, rather than words. One in three say helping out with a much-needed emergency cash injection shows that dads' care, while 12 per cent know that papa is always up for coming along for the ride, whenever you need to run an errand (12 per cent). Overall, 85 percent of both men and women said their dad is the first port of call when they need something. And Brits top memories of dad when they were young include buying you sweets, giving lifts to friends' houses, giving piggy backs up hills and letting you dress him up as a princess. To mark Father's Day and to celebrate all the quiet ways that Dad's show their care, Bloom & Wild have created an AI prompt that generates a short poem, perfect for sharing with him. Find out how, here: TOP WAYS DADS SAY 'I LOVE YOU', WITHOUT SAYING 'I LOVE YOU' ACCORDING TO BRITS: 1. Fixing things around the house – 42% 2. Sticking up for you – 37% 3.
