Two rival crematoria operators are set for a fight to the death – quite literally- as councillors last night backed a new crematorium at Chatteris. The decision by Fenland District Council Planning Committee to approve the bid by Memoria Crematoria Ltd means there could soon be rivals within a few miles of each other. Mercia Crematoria, who operate the March crematorium, argued forcefully for the council to reject the bid by Memoria group.

Members of the public are being invited to attend an open day at Yeovil Crematorium on Sunday (April 10). The event will give interested individuals the chance to learn more about the facility and the way in which it serves the local community. The management of the Crematorium is overseen by the Yeovil Crematorium and Cemetery Joint Committee, which comprises representatives of a number of local authorities.

Parish Council is adding its weight to the growing protest against plans to sell Bretby Crematorium. Parish councillors discussed the controversial scheme at their monthly parish council meeting on Tuesday night. Parish councillor Brian Buxton said he was ‘appalled and shocked’ at how badly the scheme had been handled.

Ayer se inauguraron en Getxo las instalaciones, que incluyen tres salas velatorio y una capilla Responsables de Funerarias Bizkaia inauguraron ayer el tanatorio de Getxo -ubicado en la calle Ollarretxe de Algorta-, el octavo con el que cuenta en el territorio y el primero de la comarca. Las instalaciones, que en un principio provocaron la oposición de las comunidades de vecinos de Aldapa, cuentan con alrededor de 700 metros cuadrados, en los que se ofrecen tres salas velatorio y una capilla. En ningún caso un crematorio. "Estamos muy por encima del cumplimiento de la normativa legal", explicó el gerente del grupo Funerarias Bizkaia, Francisco Uribelarrea.

Plans for a second Fenland crematorium are set to be refused despite evidence the area needs another one. An application by Memoria Ltd to build a crematorium on agricultural land off Fenton Way at Chatteris, is set to be discussed by Fenland’s planning committee yesterday (Wednesday). Officers are recommending the proposal for refusal despite strong support from Chatteris Town Council for the proposal.

With damage to crematoriums and a lack of kerosene limiting the number of cremations in disaster-hit areas, local governments have begun performing burials, a practice not common in this nation. More than 1,000 bodies had been buried in six municipalities in Miyagi Prefecture as of Sunday, according to data gathered by The Yomiuri Shimbun.

El gerente de la empresa encargada de la construcción del tanatorio dice que tienen todas las autorizaciones El gerente de Estavesa, la empresa encargada de desarrollar el proyecto del tanatorio en El Alcolar, Mariano Cánovas, asegura que cuentan con autorización para la apertura del negocio: «Hace dos años presentamos la documentación para el horno crematorio y la Comunidad Autónoma, desde Medio Ambiente, nos la concedió». Así, Cánovas niega la versión emitida por el grupo socialista de Mazarrón, que acusa de fraude a los empresarios «porque en el proyecto figura como tanatorio, no como crematorio».

Bosses at Bracknell’s crematorium are counting the cost after a herd of roe deer ate all the roses from their flowerbeds. Bracknell Forest Council, which runs the Easthampstead Park Crematorium in South Road, has now had to fork out for 135 new rose bushes for the site after the deer feasted on the plants.

Controversial plans for a second crematorium in Fenland are set to be rejected again, despite a town council’s support. Plans for a crematorium in Fenton Way, Chatteris, were originally granted by councillors in 2009 against the will of planning officers. That permission was, however, quashed at the High Court last year after rival provider Dignity – operator of the new March crematorium – proved that Fenland District Council failed to consider its planning permission as a relevant factor in the Chatteris scheme. As a result Memoria Crematoria’s application is undetermined and will be considered again at tomorrow’s meeting of the council’s planning committee.

Grieving families were left distraught on Mother’s Day after chaotic scenes at a west Cumbrian crematorium hit by cuts, a councillor has claimed.
