Funeral planning: a quiet but important part of caring for families

In the funeral profession, care is often shown in understated ways – through clarity, reassurance and helping families make informed decisions at the right time.

While funeral planning is not always an easy subject to raise, it plays an important role in reducing emotional and financial pressure for families in the future. When plans are made in advance, families gain confidence that wishes are understood and essential arrangements are already in place.

At Westerleigh Group, we believe funeral planning should be approached with the same principles that guide everything we do as a sector: transparency, choice and long-term care.

That’s why we work closely with funeral directors through our funeral plan partnerships, helping them support families not only at the time of need, but well before it.

Planning ahead may be a quiet decision, but its impact on families can be significant.

For funeral directors interested in offering funeral plans through Westerleigh, more information is available via our partnership team at fdplans@westerleighgroup.co.uk

We’re pleased to share continued progress across two of our newest developments North York Crematorium & Memorial Gardens and Great North Crematorium & Memorial Gardens.

In York (end of week 5), groundwork is now largely complete. Foundations have been finished, foundation bolts installed by the steel fabricator, and both the access road cut and haul road put in place. Surface water drainage has also been delivered to site.

Next week marks a key transition, with brickwork commencing, drainage installation beginning, the crane mat being installed, and steel columns due to go up, an exciting step forward as the structure starts to take shape.

Meanwhile, in Newcastle (end of week 14), strong progress continues as the project moves into its next phase. Substructure brickwork is now fully complete, herbicide spray to formation has been carried out, and block and beam works are well underway with completion targeted early next week. The first stage of gas membrane works is scheduled to begin shortly, while car park works, including block paving, continue to advance well.

It’s encouraging to see both developments progressing on programme, thanks to the continued collaboration and commitment from our contractor partners, Pacy & Wheatley Construction and T Manners & Sons Ltd.

We look forward to sharing further updates as both sites continue to evolve.

Last night, Langstone Vale Crematorium and Memorial Gardens was proud to host a preview evening for local funeral directors and celebrants, offering a first look at the immersive SuperVenue technology arriving this March.

As the only crematorium in Wales to introduce this innovative technology, we’re proud to be leading the way in transforming how families can honour their loved ones, creating farewells that are more personal, meaningful, and reflective of individual lives.

Featuring dynamic Canvas walls, atmospheric lighting, and carefully curated soundscapes, this technology brings a new level of personalisation and experience to the funeral service.

A big thank you to our colleagues and to our Site Manager, Aaron Carter, for the presentation and Q&A session.

We’re proud to share a heart-warming highlight from our team’s festive fundraising efforts.

Through our company Christmas raffle, we donated £1,515 to InHope., the charity behind The Wild Goose café and day centre in Bristol. Their work providing hot meals, shower facilities, clothing, laundry services and vital support to people facing homelessness and hunger makes a real difference to lives in our local community.

At Westerleigh Group, we’re committed to supporting communities across the UK, not only through our services, but by backing causes that create lasting impact.

Work continues on our new site in Newcastle, Great North Crematorium & Memorial Gardens, with good progress being made as we reach the end of week 12.

Substructure brickwork and blockwork have continued this week, alongside the installation of telescopic vents. Further progress has been made on the car park, roads and drainage, with perimeter drainage now underway. Steel columns and wind posts have also been successfully installed.

Substructure works have experienced a slight delay due to wet weather, however the metal deck is due to be delivered mid-week, allowing works to continue moving forward.

We look forward to updating you further next week.

Located near Cramlington, this new state-of-the-art SuperVenue will offer families unprecedented opportunities to personalise a final farewell.

From dynamic themed visuals displayed across the chapel canvas to harmonised soundscapes, lighting, and extended service times, every element has been thoughtfully designed around choice, care, and compassion.

Sustainability has been central to the development, with the site set to become one of the most environmentally friendly crematoria in the UK, while providing a tranquil, secluded setting accessible to communities across Newcastle, Northumberland and North Tyneside.

This development reflects our continued investment in high-quality, beautifully designed facilities that support families with exceptional care when they need it most.
