£1.5 million revamp for Crewe crematorium

Crewe crematorium is to be given a major £1.5 million revamp to improve facilities for the bereaved.

The works include extending the building, boosting seating capacity, improving toilet facilities and increasing parking.

The work is due to start in May 2015 and set to be completed by early autumn.

The work will be done outside crematorium opening hours and services will take place as normal.

Leader of Cheshire East Council,Councillor Michael Jones, said: “This is excellent news for users of this facility and shows our commitment to deliver improved, quality services for residents.

“When we created our arms-length companies, we did this so we could develop ways of investing in our facilities. So, we are building new leisure centres and we are improving our existing facilities – something that has needed to happen for a long, long time.”
