By Royna Hill, West Suffolk Crematorium Manager.
West Suffolk Crematorium has been open for 20 years in August and to mark this special occasion we will be holding a Funeral Fayre” on Saturday 1st August from 10.30am onwards. This event is intended to be a friendly and informative day, at which members of the public can learn about all aspects of the funeral business, from a wide range of professionals who will be attending.
We will have exhibits of funeral transport – from the past and present – along with a variety of coffins and caskets, showing the latest styles and trends. There will be professional advice from, for example, CRUSE Bereavement Care, St Nicholas Hospice, along with many of our local Funeral Directors.
But we want the day to be informal and uplifting, and will therefore have displays of woodcarving, calligraphy and masonry as well as a display from a local Falconer. There will be refreshments available throughout the day.
During the day we will run small informal tours of the crematory, where you will be able to see what happens once the curtains have closed – this will help to allay fears and dispel the myths.
Weather permitting, we also plan to hold a series of small, informal memorial services in our gardens where we can remember those we have lost, and these services will be lead by a number of our local ministers and officiants.
We hope to see you there!
