Pond redevelopment at Gedling Crematorium

Gedling Crematorium has been part of ongoing discussions and meetings with regards to redeveloping the pond area in our memorial grounds. Following on from this, we are delighted to announce that the redevelopment of this area has been approved and started on Monday 1st November 2021.  

Whilst the improvement works take place, the pond area will be corned off however, the grounds and all memorials will be accessible throughout our usual opening times. The office staff will also be working closely with the construction team who will be on site between Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm.  

We would also like to assure all visitors that the works will cause no disruption to any chapel services that will be taking place here at Gedling.

We would like to thank all visitors to Gedling Crematorium for their patience and co-operation in regards to these works and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.  Should any questions arise please do not hesitate to contact the crematorium office.

 

Spring is the perfect time to visit our sites and remember your loved ones.

 

Our grounds and offices are now fully open (with proportionate Covid safety precautions). Book of remembrance rooms (where present) are also now open.

Whilst restrictions are relaxing, we want to ensure we continue to provide an environment that is safe and where people feel at ease and are aware of the remaining measures.
