Proposed new cemetery and crematorium for Chelmsford

Chelmsford Council is developing plans to build a proposed new cemetery and crematorium in Gallywood. The facility will respond to the aging population and demand for high-quality and varied bereavement services in the area.
The Writtle Road Cemetery and Crematorium has proudly served Chelmsford and the surrounding area for many decades. However, the existing facility is approaching full burial capacity and the existing crematorium equipment is reaching the end of its operational lifespan. It also lacks many of the features expected of a modern bereavement service.
The proposed facilities at Stock Road will deliver a state-of-the-art bereavement facility for the city and the surrounding catchment area. The new site will provide sufficient burial and cremation capacity to meet the needs of Chelmsford and the surrounding area for the next generation.
The proposal will secure long-term bereavement provision, broaden the range of services available and support our net zero ambitions.
