Disguised as a man, Dorothy joined the trenches in 1915 and served with extraordinary courage and resilience. Her bravery, individuality, and pioneering spirit continue to inspire generations.

It’s been another productive week on site, with strong progress across several areas with City Gate Construction.

Inside the chapel, Obitus made a successful start yesterday with the installation of projectors, a lobby screen, and speakers. This week, the focus is on completing lighting and sound elements so that floor preparation can begin tomorrow.

Plasterers are back on site addressing walls now that the lighting is in place, helping to minimise future snags. Electricians and decorators continue to work efficiently alongside the mechanical team, who have confirmed that all commissioning should be complete by Friday.

Externally, all trees around the car park have now been planted, and work on the hedging has begun. The Floral Tribute area is complete and ready for fencing, with block paving and kerb work continuing. The entrance area is also being cleared, marking another step forward towards completion.

The site is really starting to take shape, and it’s great to see the teamwork and collaboration driving steady progress as we prepare to open towards the end of this month.

During the Month of July, we had the privilege of welcoming two Year 10 students from different local schools to join us for a week’s work experience.

The first week we were joined by Hannah and the second week we were joined by Thomas.
Both had the opportunity to spend time in each area of the business, learning the importance of the administration side, engaging with many funeral directors & officiants, having the opportunity to experience how each funeral service conducted can be personised to reflect a lost loved one, and gaining an understanding of the cremation process.

It was an absolute pleasure to have them here with us and to share the work we do with them, to witness such respect & engagement from you both was truly incredible.

Thank you to you both, from all of us here at Sedgemoor Crematorium we will you all the best with your futures ✨
And thank you to their parents who gave us the permission to share this with you all 💕
