Hambleton crematorium

There is a proven need for a crematorium in this region to serve the needs of the people within this community, who are currently unserved by any other crematorium.

“It will be an important local asset for the district – currently mourners have to travel at least 40 minutes to lay their loved ones to rest and often have to wait lengthy times to get a slot”, said Council Leader, Councillor Mark Robson.
