A LOCAL business says it has seen a “rapid” increase in the number of cremation funeral services following a £350,000 makeover.

Hammerwich Crematorium and Cemetery said the recent renovation had led to a 20% rise in funerals taking place.

Work carried out included refurbishment of the chapel and the installation of a new audio and visual system.

Matthew Lymn Rose, managing director at owners A W Lymn, said:

> “We have invested heavily in the site at Hammerwich to ensure we’re able to offer the best quality service to those who choose us to help them say goodbye.  
>  
> “We understand that people’s needs are changing, so we’re proactively taking steps to ensure we are best placed to support with whatever they may choose for their funeral arrangements – and our first company-owned cemetery and crematorium is just one of the ways we’re able to do this.”
