Memorials

Coronavirus (COVID-19) update:

Attending funerals: A risk-based health and safety assessment, taking into account the size of our chapel, has established that we can now accommodate up to 20 members of the deceased family and friends. This will also apply to burials.

However, guidance states that activities such as singing, chanting requiring raised voices or playing of instruments that are blown should be specifically avoided. These activities pose a possible additional risk of infection even if social distancing is being observed of if face coverings are worn.

This will take effect for any services that take place on or after the 4 July 2020.

In addition to this, and following the continuous monitoring of services booked, we are now able to take 1 hour booking slots for cremation for any services that take place on or after the 4 July 2020. This however could change if the service demand should increase drastically, at which time we may need to revert back to 30 minutes only.

If you require any further information please contact the Bereavement Services office.

Crematorium Grounds/Cemeteries: These are still open, however please be mindful of keeping at least six feet (two metres) away from other visitors.

Bereavement Services Office: This is closed, although we will take appointments from families to collect cremated remains, however please avoid this if you possibly can.

Waiting Room: This will be closed from today (Wednesday, 25 March). Attendees are asked to stay in their cars until the cortege arrives at the crematorium.

Scattering/internment of cremated remains: Please contact the Bereavement Team to make an appointment on 01733 262639. Please note, only 6 people can attend.
