We’re proud to share a heart-warming highlight from our team’s festive fundraising efforts.

Through our company Christmas raffle, we donated £1,515 to InHope., the charity behind The Wild Goose café and day centre in Bristol. Their work providing hot meals, shower facilities, clothing, laundry services and vital support to people facing homelessness and hunger makes a real difference to lives in our local community.

At Westerleigh Group, we’re committed to supporting communities across the UK, not only through our services, but by backing causes that create lasting impact.

Work continues on our new site in Newcastle, Great North Crematorium & Memorial Gardens, with good progress being made as we reach the end of week 12.

Substructure brickwork and blockwork have continued this week, alongside the installation of telescopic vents. Further progress has been made on the car park, roads and drainage, with perimeter drainage now underway. Steel columns and wind posts have also been successfully installed.

Substructure works have experienced a slight delay due to wet weather, however the metal deck is due to be delivered mid-week, allowing works to continue moving forward.

We look forward to updating you further next week.

We’re proud to share that Woollensbrook Cemetery & Crematorium is set to become a state-of-the-art SuperVenue from Spring this year, offering bereaved families unprecedented levels of personalisation when saying goodbye to their loved ones.

Following a chapel refurbishment this spring, services at Woollensbrook will be enhanced by innovative audio-visual technology, allowing families to create truly unique and meaningful tributes, from personalised welcome screens to immersive visual themes, coordinated lighting and soundscapes inside the chapel.

This transformation reflects our ongoing commitment to place families at the heart of everything we do, providing exceptional care, support and choice at one of life’s most difficult moments.

Work is now well underway on our newest development in North York. By the end of week three, key progress includes the completion of the attenuation basin, topsoil stripping and stockpiling, and the excavation of trial foundations. Site perimeter fencing is in place, existing services have been identified, and additional signage has been installed on the entrance road.

Looking ahead to next week, foundation work will continue towards completion, Building Control inspections are scheduled ahead of pouring, and site welfare services will be fully operational.

Thanks to Pacy & Wheatley Construction and the entire site team for their continued efforts. We look forward to sharing further updates as the project progresses.

We’re pleased to share that our first crematorium in the North East of England, Great North Crematorium and Memorial Gardens, will be opening in winter 2026.

Located near Cramlington, this new state-of-the-art SuperVenue will offer families unprecedented opportunities to personalise a final farewell. Through immersive audio-visual technology, flexible chapel design, and beautifully landscaped memorial gardens, we’re creating a space that allows every service to feel truly meaningful and unhurried.

From dynamic themed visuals displayed across the chapel canvas to harmonised soundscapes, lighting, and extended service times, every element has been thoughtfully designed around choice, care, and compassion.

Sustainability has been central to the development, with the site set to become one of the most environmentally friendly crematoria in the UK, while providing a tranquil, secluded setting accessible to communities across Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside.

This development reflects our continued investment in high-quality, beautifully designed facilities that support families with exceptional care when they need it most.
