NOTES ON CORONAVIRUS AND FUNERALS:
Letter from WMDC 4th September 2021
From Monday 19th July 2021 all of the chairs were returned to the main Chapels. This increased the seating capacity to the limit as detailed below
WMDC are limiting capacity within both Crematoria buildings to seating only , with no standing in the chapels, waiting areas or foyer, so the above numbers are the maximum number of people we will be allowing into the respective buildings for a service. We will still be allowing people to gather outside and we will continue to put the outside speakers on but I would be grateful if you could advise your families of the specific seating capacity. The chairs will be interlocked as before the pandemic and I would request that they are not moved during a service.

Funeral arrangements can be made at our office premises or in the family home,
