Waseley Hills Crematorium opens its doors to everyone

Waseley Hills Crematorium is issuing an open invitation to local people to visit its picturesque, peaceful site on Saturday 5 August.

The crematorium is hosting a community open day between 10am and 2pm when people from South Birmingham, Bromsgrove, North Worcestershire and surrounding areas will be able to take a tour of the site.

Local people will have the chance to tour the facilities and take a walk in the landscaped memorial gardens as well as to meet the crematorium team and find out more about the work they do and exceptional care they provide to make each service uniquely personal.

Visitors can also, if they wish, take a tour of the crematory.

In addition, visitors will be given the opportunity to help create a large, heart-shaped, piece of art for the crematorium’s waiting room, through a project being led by local artist Lorraine Wright.

They will also be able to take part in range of other fun and therapeutic art activities, in association with Creative Arts.

There will be a selection of funeral vehicles for people to look at, too.

Waseley Hills Crematorium is part of Westerleigh Group, one of the UK’s largest independent owners and operators of crematoria and cemeteries, with 38 sites in England, Scotland and Wales, all set within beautifully-landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide pleasant, peaceful places for people to visit and reflect.

Claire Montague, Crematorium Assistant at Waseley Hills Crematorium, said: “Our summer open day offers an opportunity for anyone to come and visit our beautiful site and ask any questions they might have, in an informal setting, about what we do here and the support we provide to bereaved families.

“It’s a chance for people to find out about the wide range of farewell services we offer, the exceptional care we provide, and the ways in which we work with families to provide services which are uniquely personal to their loved one.

“No appointment is necessary for the open day, and we very much look forward to welcoming local families to our lovely grounds.”
