Progress continues across our new crematoria developments, with positive momentum at both Vale of York Crematorium and Great North Crematorium in Cramlington.

At Vale of York Crematorium & Memorial Gardens, works are progressing well with continued advancement of both external and internal masonry. Scaffold lifts are ongoing as the structure develops, while preparation works above formation level for service yards and the access road are moving forward. BT diversion and alteration works are also underway, supporting the next phase of infrastructure on site.

At Great North Crematorium & Memorial Gardens, Cramlington, strong progress has been made as brickwork and blockwork move through the second lift, with scaffolding lifted to allow roofing works to begin. External works are advancing well, alongside landscaping preparations, including bund dressing and topsoil spreading ahead of the Spring seeding plan. Within the Memorial Garden, border and stonework to pathways are taking shape, and works to the lower-level roof have now commenced.

It is encouraging to see both sites developing well, with key milestones being reached across construction, infrastructure and landscaping. We look forward to sharing further updates as these projects continue to progress.

We welcome the Health Secretary’s announcement that the Department of Health and Social Care will lead the development of regulation for the funeral industry in England and Wales.

Work continues to progress at our new site in Newcastle, Great North Crematorium & Memorial Gardens, with strong momentum maintained through week 23.

Brickwork and blockwork are advancing well, now reaching the second lift, while scaffolding is nearing completion to support upcoming parapet and roofing works. External works are also progressing steadily, with additional road kerbing installed across the site.

Groundworks are moving forward, with muck shifting underway in preparation for the spring seeding plan. Topsoil is now being spread in readiness for seeding, and work has begun on the borders and stone pathways within the Memorial Garden. In the coming days, works to the lower-level roof are also set to begin.

It’s great to see the site taking shape as we move closer to the next phase of construction.

We’re pleased to announce that Babworth Crematorium will become our next SuperVenue, bringing immersive technology that enables families to create deeply personal and meaningful funeral services.

The chapel will temporarily close from Saturday 18 July, while state-of-the-art technology is installed, including immersive visual canvases, coordinated lighting and soundscapes, and enhanced welcome screens. The crematorium will reopen for services on Tuesday 4 August.

The SuperVenue concept, first unveiled in 2024, is transforming the way families can personalise funeral services, creating an atmosphere that truly reflects the life, passions, and personality of the person being remembered.

Babworth becoming our next SuperVenue marks another step in our commitment to bringing this innovative experience to more crematoria across the UK, with further locations planned later this year.
