to create a beautiful tranquil place which reflects the Holderness landscape. A place where people of all ages feel at ease, somewhere which helps families and friends to remember and celebrate the lives of their loved ones in a positive and hopefully enriching way.
The project offers numerous benefits to local residents, businesses and communities. It will provide an opportunity to shorten the distance people have to travel, thus reducing the carbon footprint, and will support the economy through the creation of jobs and trade for related businesses. We will consider how we can help to address funeral poverty and the build will be as environmentally friendly as possible, through its design and the use of technology.
The site we are considering will not have any detrimental impact on local communities and it will be designed with a very natural, green feel and look, including the planting of new trees, and it will be sensitive to the nature of the site and the purpose it will be used for.
We will be fully consulting with local residents and businesses and hope that people will appreciate how much focus is being put into creating a much-needed facility with a sense of place at its heart.
The council’s priorities are to support local residents and businesses, grow the local economy and value our environment and we are confident that this project contributes to all those goals.
our vision is to:
| create a much-needed facility with a sense of place at its heart, a place for people to remember their loved ones local to where they live | |
| be appropriate and sensitive to the needs of different faiths and beliefs | |
| consider how we can help reduce funeral poverty | |
| shorten the distance people have to travel and reduce the carbon footprint | |
| support the economy through the creation of jobs and trade for related businesses | |
| help the wider funeral and bereavement sector be more sustainable for the future | |
| use environmentally-conscious features through the design and the use of technology | |
| change perceptions and demystify death and crematoria |
A range of surveys and consultation events have been held to give people the opportunity to feedback on the concept design and there is still chance to give us your comments by emailing us at bereavementservices@eastriding.gov.uk
