An east Lancashire pet cemetery is offering people the chance to be buried alongside their animal companions, it has emerged. Dog-lover Karl Bartoni, 62, led the charge for Rossendale Pet Crematorium to be allowed to offer the service. He is to be buried in the same grave as his dogs, Barney and Charlie. The Crawshawbooth pet cemetery also has a plot set aside for the graves of up to 40 animal lovers.

A petittion which aims to prevent the sale of Bretby Crematorium is expected to attract thousands of signatures. Kevin Richards, labour leader at South Derbyshire District Council, who helped set up the lobby, said the support it had received so far had been ‘excellent’. It was revealed that the crematorium — jointly owned by the district council and East Staffordshire Borough Council — may be sold to Midlands Co-op for £8 million, angering local people who believe fees would increase and the grounds used to scatter the ashes of loved ones would be ruined.

A COUNCIL leader has said he wants to assure a South Derbyshire mother of quadruplets whose ashes were scattered at Bretby Crematorium that the protection of the grounds is included in discussions. Richard Grosvenor, leader of East Staffordshire Borough Council, is hoping to assure Dawn Morley, of Spring Close, Castle Gresley, that the protection of the crematorium’s grounds and the families’ rights to visit are ‘very much’ part of the discussion with the Midlands Co-op.

There's news this week that a proposed new crematorium and cemetery in Co Dublin has been refused planning permission. Fingal Council rejected the planned development at Balleally West, Lusk on the grounds that it is a 'High Amenity' zone. They said the subject site, the proposed design, the scale and regimented layout of the proposed development, particularly the cemetery element, and lack of high quality landscaping proposed, the development as proposed would result in a cramped form of development which fails to provide an appropriate setting for the proposed crematorium and cemetery.

MERSEYSIDE funeral directors today warned the cost of dying is set to rocket. Liverpool council has told firms about a massive price rise for cremations, which comes into force on April 1. Grieving city families will have to pay an extra £156 for a cremation. But those who live outside the city boundaries will be the worst hit because they will be charged an increased non-resident rate.

A MULTI-million pound scheme to expand a 50-year-old crematorium currently operating at five times its original rate has been approved by councillors. Durham Crematorium, on the city’s South Road, is to get new cremators, an electricity substation and a bigger car park, as part of a scheme previously said to be worth £2.3m.

Grieving families face an 100-mile round trip to cremate their loved ones when west Cumbria’s only crematorium temporarily closes this week. Copeland council will shut down Distington Crematorium for 10 days on Friday while a £500,000 revamp is carried out. That means families who want to cremate their lost relatives could be forced to travel 40 miles to Carlisle, 50 miles to Barrow or wait for Distington to reopen.

Na herhaaldelijk aandringen van de vertegenwoordigers in de raad van bestuur uit de Kempen, heeft de intercommunale vereniging voor crematoriumbeheer in de provincie Antwerpen (IVCA cvba) de beslissing genomen om het crematorium op zaterdag open te stellen voor plechtigheden en koffiekamers.

A TRIAL has been set for an undertaker accused of cremating a still-born baby without its parents' consent. David Durden, aged 60, appeared at Plymouth Magistrates' Court again charged with submitting papers to a crematorium which did not have the signature of the child's mother or father.
