The scheme comprises a new single storey Crematorium with integral Machinery Store to the south western corner of the existing Lawn Cemetery, operated by the Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council. This will be accompanied by new associated car park and supplementary roadside parking within the cemetery curtilage. Some road network alterations and extensive landscaping will form part of the scheme, including the addition of two surface water attenuation ponds.

Our Client identified a need for improved cremation services to address increased waiting times and distances required to travel in the area. The proposed development will provide a new larger chapel, for both burial and cremation funeral services, as well as combining the facilities needed for both cremation and burial services. The chapel will also serve as a space for remembrance services throughout the year. The existing buildings at the entrance will be replaced with new landscaping and areas for burial. The proposed crematorium building will sit below the tree line when first viewed and is approached from higher ground, thus minimising its impact on the openness of the greenbelt. When visitors enter the site and reach the top of the ridge, rather than finding themselves amongst a group of buildings as they currently do they will be in an open area, landscaped with new planting and trees. This newly revealed vista will provide long views across the cemetery and the valley beyond. From the outset, it has been the intention for the crematorium building to avoid the one size fits all approach that characterises many new crematorium developments. The character of the place needs to be reflected in a design that sits comfortably in its context and respects the dignity of the occasion. The site is currently being constructed whilst maintaining safe access to the cemetery for visiting members of the public.
