May 2021 - Memorial Gardens And Pathways Project Update

Memorial Gardens and Pathways Project

Exciting news

The grounds at the crematorium are being developed further to include an infrastructure of pathways around the grounds (Garden of Remembrance) and between individual memorial gardens, existing and new. The project also includes the installation of three new memorial gardens to complement the existing Anniversary and Wendleburie gardens.

The team at the crematorium are very excited about this project, which will provide a more pleasing place to visit aesthetically, enable an additional service offering of choice for bereaved people when thinking about the final resting place for their loved one’s ashes, and/or when choosing a fitting memorial in commemoration.

The vision for the Garden of Remembrance is landscaping of this garden with the creation of additional individual themed memorial gardens within – a garden within a garden concept is our aspiration.

The artists impression shows the three memorial gardens, which are for illustration purposes only because the outcome on a name for these gardens and their appearance may change.

Work commences today, (Monday 10 May) and completion is expected within 15 weeks. In the meantime, watch this space for update during this time.

Nene Valley Crematorium - Donation to Charity

01 Aug, 2023

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.
