Preston City Council has announced a major £5 million investment to upgrade and expand Preston Cemetery and Crematorium, securing the future of bereavement services for the city and ensuring modern, dignified facilities for residents, for decades to come.
The significant investment will deliver a comprehensive programme of improvements, including new office accommodation, the refurbishment and increase in seating capacity of the chapel, upgraded pathways across the grounds, a new cemetery to address capacity issues, and the full replacement of the site's cremation facilities by 2032.
The project will involve a new cemetery with additional burial space, improved pathways and grounds and a new office building with improved facilities for visitors.
The crematorium’s cremators are also set to be replaced with modern, efficient and environmentally compliant equipment.
