Leicestershire crematorium shortlisted for top title again
A Leicestershire crematorium could be named the best in the country in September after being shortlisted as a finalist in the prestigious Good Funeral Awards for the second year running.
Great Glen Crematorium, a finalist in this year’s awards, is part of Westerleigh Group, one of the UK’s largest independent owners and operators of crematoria and cemeteries, with 40 sites across England, Scotland and Wales, all set within beautifully-landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide peaceful places for people to visit and reflect.
Three of the four finalists in the coveted Crematorium of the Year category are from Westerleigh Group, including Gedling Crematorium in Nottinghamshire and the current award holders, West Berkshire Crematorium.
Debbie Smith, CEO of Westerleigh Group, said: “To be shortlisted as a finalist for the title of Crematorium of the Year in such highly-respected awards is something to be very proud of.
“To be shortlisted for a second successive year is an amazing achievement which speaks volumes about the exceptional care we deliver, and the fact that we do it consistently.
“Westerleigh Group has a strong track record in winning the Crematorium of the Year title, with West Berkshire Crematorium winning last year, and Wessex Vale Crematorium winning in 2021.
“To have three of the four finalists speaks volumes about the dedication and commitment of the passionate people who work at all of Westerleigh Group’s crematoria and sends a strong message that we consistently offer extremely high standards of service and deliver exceptional care to the families we support.
“I’d like to congratulate everyone at Great Glen Crematorium for being selected as finalists and thank our industry partners for making this nomination.
“I’m sure the team at Great Glen will want to go one step further than they did last year, and take the title, but to get to the final alone for the second year in row is an incredible achievement.
“All of us at Westerleigh Group are very proud of the team at Great Glen; whatever happens at the awards evening in September, you’re already winners in our eyes.
“Ultimately, the real winners are the families we support because this nomination reinforces our belief about the consistent quality of our facilities, our services and of course, our people.”
