Community Open Day at Parndon Wood Crematorium

Parndon Wood Cemetery & Crematorium is looking forward to welcoming visitors to a community open day on Saturday 20 September.

An invitation is open to anyone to visit between 10am and 2pm. Visitors will be able to tour the facilities and take a walk in the landscaped cemetery and crematorium grounds 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. They will also have the opportunity to tour the crematory, if they wish.

Parndon Wood Cemetery & Crematorium is part of Westerleigh Group, one of the UK’s largest independent owners and operators of crematoria and cemeteries, with 41 sites in England, Scotland, and Wales, and which is trusted by more families than any other provider to deliver funerals for their loved ones.

All of Westerleigh's locations are set within beautifully landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide peaceful places for people to visit and reflect, while benefitting from exceptional care and support from its teams.

Joe Jaggers, Manager of Parndon Wood Cemetery & Crematorium, said:

“Those who attend our community open day will be able to find out first-hand about the exceptional care with which we serve the community and their loved ones.

“Visitors will be able to learn about the range of farewell services we offer, the technology we use and how we can make every funeral uniquely personal.

“They will also be able to discover how we can support the bereaved in helping them to remember their loved ones, through a wide range of memorialisation options.”

Those who attend the open day can also place a card or message to loved ones in the crematorium’s memorial post box, paint a pebble in memory of their loved one and spend some quiet time in the landscaped grounds for reflection and remembrance.

Joe added: “We will also be able to tell visitors about the work we do in the local community and the many local charities and organisations we support.

“Everyone is welcome to drop in and we look forward to meeting local families on 20 September.”
