We have identified a need for a new crematorium in the area because of the time it takes for people to travel to existing sites from Holderness and the impact this has on the bereaved when suffering from their loss and subsequently wishing to visit a crematorium where ashes have been laid.
A new crematorium, should the council go ahead with the proposal and subject to consultation and planning approvals, would also help the wider funeral and bereavement sector be more sustainable for the future.
The proposed new facility will be the Council’s first owned and operated crematorium, which will also support the local economy through the creation of new jobs and supporting local businesses.
