New grave plots pledge at cemetery to provide more space for the future
HUNDREDS of new grave plots will be provided thanks to new developments at Wath Cemetery.
The Crematorium and Memorial Group, part of the Dignity Group, will have 500 new spaces for graves.
Wath Cemetery first opened in 1868 and is also home to 20 Commonwealth War Graves.
The new development is now complete and enquiries for availability can be made directly to [email protected] or via 01709 850344.
There will be opportunities for people to visit, ask questions and make enquiries and the team at the site are planning opportunities for on-site discussions throughout the summer which will be advertised via the Crematorium and Memorial Group Facebook page and on-site.
A spokesperson for the the Group said: “As part of an ongoing commitment to meeting the needs of the community, plans have been carefully developed to introduce up to 500 new grave plot spaces.
“This expansion comes at a time when burial space is becoming increasingly limited in many areas across the country and will help ensure availability for future generations.
“The development offers several important benefits, including the opportunity for families and individuals to be reunited with loved ones already laid to rest within the cemetery.
“It will also provide the option to pre-purchase plots, providing reassurance and allowing individuals to plan ahead.
“In addition, the expansion has been thoughtfully designed to include accessible pathways, making it easier for visitors to spend time remembering and reflecting.
“This investment ensures that Wath Cemetery will remain an accessible and meaningful place of remembrance, continuing to serve the community now and into the future.”
