New Crematorium and Memorial Park at Chalk making good progress.

Progress is currently being made on site on the new Crematorium and Memorial Park at Chalk, Gravesend. Clague secured planning approval for clients Stepnell and Mercia Ltd in 2014 and are now delivering it on site, on this stunning location overlooking rolling countryside and the Thames Estuary to the north. The building design consists of two top-lit vaulted Chapel spaces whilst the exterior features a cluster of three hipped roof forms, with an enclosed light well and sheltered flower courts. This much needed facility which will be operated by London Cremation Company Plc, is set in some 26 acres of landscaped parkland which will also feature a Memorial Garden as well as traditional Burial and Natural Burial areas. Construction work is being undertaken by Baxall Ltd.
