Crematorium Seating

Councillor M Wilson commented that she had recently attended a service at the crematorium and noted there was a lot of people unable to be seated with some elderly people standing at the back and asked that more long form seating be considered. The Bereavement Services Manager and Registrar advised that seating had been increased as much as possible, however he would look at the issue further.

 

Crematorium Conference

The Chair provided the Joint Committee with an update following his attendance at the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management (ICCM) Learning Convention and Exhibition Conference on the 23-25 September 2024.
