Refurbishment works to modernise St Helens Crematorium have been completed.
Work on the facilities which, while cherished by the community, required modernisation to meet the needs of residents, and to allow the council to expand the range of services that can be offered to bereaved families.
The £3.5 million project has seen a full refurbishment of the Crematorium building, with a cohesive, modern and respectful style.
Among the improvements are the addition of a small chapel, now fully renovated and reinstated to allow smaller, more intimate services to take place.
The layout of the main chapel has changed, with the catafalque – the platform on which the coffin rests during the service – moved more appropriately to the front and centre of the ceremony room.
Waiting rooms, toilets, offices and facilities have also been replaced to a modern standard.
