Biodegradable Wreaths

Posted on 2 November 2018

After Christmas we throw away £000’s worth of wreaths which go straight to landfill, and as a result we would request that visitors to the crematorium consider purchasing biodegradable wreaths. The use of biodegradable tributes both reduces the cost of disposal and the impact on the environment.  Some of the trellises will be marked especially for biodegradable wreaths.

We would also ask visitors to reconsider purchasing wreaths, and instead make a donation to the Crematorium Memorial Fund which is used solely to improve the Memorial Gardens for everyone to enjoy.  If you wish to support our initiative and reduce the impact on the environment, you can visit the memorial hall, write on a memorial tag provided and place it on one of the Christmas trees.

• The Trellises to the side of the Ogden Chapel and the Christmas Trees and Tags, situated in the Memorial Hall, will all be in place by Friday 30^th November, 2018.
• The Trellises and Christmas Trees will be removed on Friday 4^th January 2019.
