We would like to thank all of you who took time out of busy schedules to attend our Doors Open event on Sunday 22nd September.
We try to impart a little about the diversity in our social heritage and the historical value of this facility whilst promoting its unique charitable service, hence our low fees to combat funeral poverty. More importantly we provide a clear insight into the daily running of the crematorium, its technology and the environmental and regulatory controls and standards to be met in ensuring a competent and lawful service is delivered. However, it is more than that. It is an opportunity for you to meet the very well qualified and experienced staff who work here and reassure you that a sensitive and caring service is provided to all who have need of our services and to remove any fears or anxiety you may have about what goes on in a crematorium. The tour is informative yes, but humour is injected throughout the visit to lighten the mood and remove any concerns visitors may have about seeing back house operations. For those visitors who commented in a highly complementary manner, we thank you as without your participation and engagement the Doors Open event could not take place. A special thanks goes also to Emma for the production of homemade tablet and shortbread.
For those who missed that sweet treat, there is always our Christmas Service on the first Sunday each December, more details of which can be found on our Events page on our website.
Thank you for a most enjoyable day.
