Seasonal remembrance services at Wellingborough’s Crematorium

Nene Valley Crematorium opened its doors to the local community on Saturday (14 December), providing people the opportunity to come together and remember loved ones at a candle-lit service.

Friends and family came together to remember loved ones who had passed away during the previous 12 months in two ceremonies led by ceremony leaders of a range of faiths, and those of none.

Visitors had an opportunity to write messages to loved ones and place this within a bauble on the remembrance trees, which will remain in the ceremony hall throughout the festive period.

Chairman for the Board of Directors at Nene Valley Crematorium, Cllr Paul Bell, said:

“Christmas is often a time of remembrance and reflection and these special services provided family and friends who have lost a loved one this year with the opportunity to commemorate those that they’ve lost in a peaceful environment.”

Crematorium Manager Tracy Lawrence said: “It is important to provide those that have lost family and friends with the chance to remember their loved ones at a peaceful candle-lit service like this. The first Christmas without those they love can be difficult, and we hope in some small way that the messages conveyed by ceremony leaders, and music played on Saturday, helped.”

Nene Valley Crematorium opened in September 2016 and is operated by Wellingborough Bereavement Services Limited.

The team at Nene Valley Crematorium have raised £12,000 for a local charity, MIND. North Northamptonshire Council’s company operated crematorium serves the community of Wellingborough, and beyond. MIND provides frontline mental health and wellbeing services. The raised funds will be utilised to allow hundreds of people to access crucial support services that can be lifesaving, including, counselling, crisis support, one-to-one support, encompassing support groups and peer support. On behalf of the Company’s Chair for the Board of Directors, Councillor Paul Bell, responsible for Wellingborough Bereavement Services, a cheque was presented on Tuesday 20 June 2023 by the Operations Director (and NNC’s Assistant Director for Regulatory Services), Iain Smith to MIND’s Business Development Director, Dion Hunt. These funds are a result of the crematorium’s membership with the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management, who have adopted a recycling of metals policy via a European company, OrthoMetals.
