We’re proud to be part of the team delivering a major refurbishment of Astwood Crematorium on behalf of Worcester City Council. As the design coordinators, planners, and landscape architects, we are working closely with Worcester City Council and an outstanding team of partners: pHp Architects (architecture), BCAL Consulting (structural & civil), ESP Limited (M&E), and Suono (acoustics).
🌿 The proposed plans, now open for public feedback, will bring significant updates, including:
🌿Replacement of the existing gas-powered cremators with two new electric cremators
🌿A larger congregation area and new chapel design to better accommodate services
🌿Expanded covered areas for hearses and cars
🌿Improved front-of-house facilities for staff
An artist’s impression of the refurbishment captures the vision for these exciting changes. Pending approval, construction is expected to begin in Summer 2025 and last for around nine months. This refurbishment will ensure that Astwood continues to provide essential services to the community while incorporating modern, sustainable infrastructure.
Stay tuned for updates as we work towards delivering this important project!
