The Hurlet Crematorium Donates £10,000 to The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice
The Hurlet Crematorium is delighted to donate £10,000 to The Prince & Princess of Wales Hospice through its membership of the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management’s Recycling of Metals Scheme.
Crematorium Manager, David McNaughton, said:
“It is an honour to support The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice with this donation, helping them continue their vital work for families in our community.
The cost of providing hospice care keeps rising, yet these remarkable organisations rely heavily on charitable donations to sustain their services. We are deeply grateful to every family who has given permission for metals to be recycled following their loved one’s cremation. It is a simple act that makes a real difference. Every piece of metal contributes to supporting people at some of the most difficult moments in life.
We are proud to take part in this scheme. Since opening, we have been able to donate £32,300 on behalf of the families a significant amount to local hospices, helping to fund essential services and compassionate care for those who need it most.”
Josh Munns, Head of Fundraising at The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice, said: “We are truly grateful for the ongoing support from The Hurlet Crematorium and to all those involved in the scheme. This donation makes a significant difference to the lives of our patients and their families and helps us to keep on caring. Thank you.”
David McNaughton added:
“Care, compassion, and supporting our local community are at the heart of everything we do at The Hurlet Crematorium. Being able to honour peoples loved ones by supporting hospice care brings comfort to the families who give permission for metals to be donated through the ICCM scheme. Their kindness ensures others receive the care, dignity, and support they deserve.”
