Open day at WIlford Hill Crematorium - Sunday 9th July 2006

This year the Annual Open Day at Wilford Hill Crematorium is to take place on Sunday 9th July 2006 from 10.00am and 3.00pm

During the day, visitors will be able to take a look behind the scenes of a modern crematorium, and ask any questions they may have. Staff will be on hand to run guided tours and explain the various procedures and processes.

The event has been very successful in previous years with large numbers of people attending. Visitors have commented favourably on the efficiency of operations, the reassurance the experience had given them, and how it had helped to dispel myths, worries and concerns they had held about cremation.

Crematorium Open Day 2004 Review

Once again our Wilford Hill Crematorium Open Day proved a big success with 204 people taking the opportunity to have a look at the behind the scenes facilities and have the whole cremation procedure fully explained.

During the day many visitors expressed their personal thanks to the Crematorium staff that had guided them around and answered a variety of questions put to them. This has since been confirmed as 73 visitors (return rate of 35%) completed and returned questionnaires which were distributed to all visitors. These questionnaires have now been ‘analysed’ and the results can be viewed in MS Word format 44.5kb

The overall conclusions are that the day was worthwhile, everything was fully explained and that more open days should be held with the majority having a preference for Sunday.
