Harwood Park Crematorium

The bees have been hard at work among the beautiful flowers at Harwood Park Crematorium, busily gathering nectar and bringing the gardens to life. 🐝💜

It's a lovely reminder of how special this space is—not just as a place of remembrance, but as a peaceful haven where nature thrives. The gentle hum of bees and the tranquil surroundings make it a wonderful place to visit, reflect, and wander in quiet thought.

Whether you're remembering a loved one or simply enjoying a moment of calm, Harwood Park offers a beautiful connection between remembrance and the natural world. 🌿✨

Today, Crematorium Superintendent David Hall had the honour of attending a special morning at Noah's Ark Children's Hospice

Since 2009, Noah’s Ark has received more than £200,000 in funding through local Metal Recycling Scheme nominations and Noah’s Ark-led matched funding initiatives. This support has included contributions from Harwood Park Crematorium, which nominated the hospice through the ICCM Metal Recycling Scheme.

The event marked the tremendous impact this funding has had on the children and families supported by Noah’s Ark. We heard from key members of the leadership team about the hospice’s vital work and were given a tour of their beautiful hospice building, The Ark.

It was a privilege to join them in celebrating this significant milestone and recognising the difference this support has made over the year.

Increasingly, families are looking for ways to reduce the environmental impact of a loved one’s funeral. Until recently, choosing an environmentally friendly funeral was unusual. Now, it’s increasingly mainstream, influenced by growing awareness of sustainability, simplicity, and cost.

Over 60% of families say they would be interested in exploring green funeral options. Many people want funeral arrangements that reflect the environmental values they held in life. Others simply wish to say goodbye while leaving a gentler footprint on the environment.
