A £2.6m upgrade of Durham Crematorium is due to start. The 50-year-old crematorium will soon have a new car park and improved road access at the site. New machines will be installed in 2012 which will recycle energy to help heat the building. The crematorium, which holds 2,000 services a year, will be open as usual while the work is carried out. The project is being delivered by Durham County Council with Spennymoor Town Council. The upgrade will include the installation of more environmental cremators.

Power used at a crematorium could be offset by building a £70,000 wind turbine more than twice the height of a family home. Middlesbrough Council wants to put an 18.5m (60ft) mast on land next to Teesside Crematorium in Acklam. But the turbine’s overall height would be 25m (82ft) when its blades are factored in. If plans are approved, the turbine would feed into the national grid to offset energy used by the site and the council would be reimbursed for any power it produces. The system would cost the council £70,000, although it is estimated that the sum would be recouped within eight years. But the reaction to the scheme from residents was mixed.

PEOPLE from all faiths will soon have a new venue where they can say a final goodbye to loved ones.

Cabinet member with responsibility for the Crematorium, Mike Galloway, said: “I look forward to the opening of this important new multi-faith facility which incorporates a number of innovative environmental benefits.”

El cementerio de Montjuïc ha instalado un parque de energía solar fotovoltaica de 700 metros cuadrados que generará 136.000 kilovatios por hora, el equivalente al 34% de la energía que necesita el cementerio y el crematorio, y lo suficiente para abastecer a 46 familias. La energía producida por las placas, situadas sobre ocho bloques de nichos, se evacuará a la red de distribución una vez la instalación entre en funcionamiento, y reducirá en 135 toneladas las emisiones de CO2 a la atmósfera.

Relatives wept and soldiers saluted as dozens of tsunami victims in simple wooden coffins were buried in a mass grave in a city in northeast Japan overwhelmed by death.

In Utrecht heeft een man enige tijd ingesloten gezeten in een verlaten crematorium Daelwijck. De man had vergaderd en toen hij donderdagavond het gebouw wilde verlaten, bleek dat iemand alle deuren had afgesloten. Hij was alleen in het donkere crematorium en kon er niet meer uit. Na een telefoontje met 1-1-2 zorgde de politie ervoor dat de man bevrijd werd en alsnog naar huis kon.
