Update on Review of Memorials pdf icon PDF 90 KB

Minutes:

Members noted that the changeover from rose bed memorials to shrubberies was taking place more quickly than originally envisaged and was due to be substantially completed by summer 2016. The new shrubbery memorials had been particularly well received.

 

Members considered the proposal to introduce an additional stone memorial into the garden of remembrance. The proposed above ground memorial vault was in keeping with the existing memorial scheme in place. It was noted that there was sufficient space in the garden of remembrance to accommodate the proposed memorial taking into account its potential popularity. There was no limit on the number of occasions a family could renew a memorial lease.

 

Whilst reviewing the proposed terms and conditions for the new memorial plaques it was suggested that they be amended to clarify that the renewal invitation letter would be sent to the applicant’s last known address. 

 

RESOLVED -

 

1.    That the Sanctum 2000 above ground memorial vault be introduced into the garden of remembrance.

 

2.    That the suggested fees and terms and conditions, including the amendment detailed above, be approved.

Audio Visual Tribute System pdf icon PDF 82 KB

Minutes:

Due to the increased demand of audio visual tributes a Wesleymedia music system had been installed to replace the mobile unit. Since the installation the number of requests to use the system had increased significantly. Wesleymedia make a charge to the crematorium for its use and the current fees and charges were no longer appropriate. As such, Members were asked to agree the proposed new fees and charges. It was noted that the proposed fees and charges provided for a small surplus to enable the crematorium to recover the cost of installation.

 

RESOLVED -

 

That the proposed fees and charges, as detailed in the report, for use of the audio visual tribute system be approved.
