Spring Gardens Cemetery (previously known as the New Cemetery) is to see improvements over the coming months.

A new area for cremated remains has been installed in the cemetery. It will be landscaped and used when the present Garden of Remembrance is full.

A new office for cemetery enquiries, a toilet facility for visitors, and a depot area for the workers is to be installed. The old office building (shown above) is to be carted away.

Also the roadway / pathway in the Spring Gardens Cemetery will be resurfaced to improve accessibility and the environment. This is the worst stretch near the bottom and it floods on days like today but wll drain when redone.

More pictures next spring when the work is complete. But I will show respect and not intrude. It can take some people a very long time to come to terms with losing someone very close and the cemetery is a very private place.
