THE Scottish Borders’ first crematorium will begin operations in mid-November with construction running ahead of schedule. It will become the only crematorium between Edinburgh and Blyth. The operations director of the company behind the development also revealed he has been inundated with enquiries from funeral directors and ministers who are keen to see the £2.6million project, next to Wairds Cemetery in the lee of the Eildon Hills at Melrose, completed. “That response has been most heartening,” said Adrian Britton of Bristol-based Westerleigh, the UK’s second largest crematorium operator.

TODAY marks the final severance of Bretby Crematorium from its taxpaying public. East Staffordshire Borough Council — as the leading authority — has finally dissolved its contact with the Geary Lane site after 36 years, marking the end of a long saga which involved thousands of residents from across Burton and South Derbyshire. The crematorium’s joint committee, which included members of both councils, is now no more after today’s official dissolution. The reins have now been officially handed to Midlands Co-operative Society.

Het ligt voor de hand, vindt architecte Ineke Hulshof: nuttig hergebruik van de warmte uit een crematoriumoven. Uitvaartcentrum/crematorium De Iepenhof in Delft houdt met de warmte uit de oven het complex op temperatuur. In de praktijk komt het op een enkele uitzondering niet voor, meent Hulshof, directrice van het Delftse bureau Hulshof Architecten. Zo’n uitzondering is haar ontwerp van uitvaartcentrum/crematorium De Iepenhof van uitvaartvereniging De Laatste Eer uit Delft. Met het hergebruik van de warmte uit de crematoriumoven dingt het complex mee naar de Nationale Dubo Award 2011.

Sandwell Council's new £3.25 million crematorium is in the running for a top national award. The crematorium, built on the site of the old crematorium in Newton Road, opened a year ago. Adjoining the new chapel is a courtyard cafe together with new staff offices and improved car and coach parking. Builders GF Tomlinson Birmingham Ltd started work on the site in late 2009 and completed work on the chapel itself less than a year later.

A l'heure de votre mort, vous aurez peut être choisi l'option de la crémation, un procédé pas si écologique que cela puisqu’au final elle rejetterait dans l'air de l'oxyde d'azote, du monoxyde de carbone, du dioxyde de soufre, du mercure, du fluorure d'hydrogène (HF), du chlorure d'hydrogène (HCI), des métaux lourds, et des polluants organiques persistants (POP) ! La compagnie Resomation basée à Glasgow propose une alternative à la crémation par un processus qui dissout le corps dans de l'eau alcaline chauffée.

Cremators are being refurbished at Wilford Hill (Southern) Cemetery and Crematorium to reduce air pollutant emissions. Guidance published by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) in 2005 set out a requirement for all of the UK's crematoria to reduce emissions of mercury to the atmosphere by 50 per cent in order to protect the environment. In order to comply with the new guidance the Council has procured Facultatieve Technologies, a world leader in the field of design, construction and maintenance of cremators.
