Grantham Crematorium to allow more mourners to attend funerals

More people will now be able to attend funeral services at Grantham Crematorium.

With immediate effect, up to 12 mourners will be allowed inside the chapel instead of 10 amid the coronavirus outbreak.

Dignity, the operator of the crematorium, confirmed that they have re-assessed their chapel in line with social distancing to increase the number of mourners who can safely be admitted into the building, off Harrowby Road.

Grantham Cemetery was forced to close last month as part of the national restrictions to prevent the spread of Covid-19.

However it was able to reopen a week later after following new government guidelines, so that people can visit memorials to loved ones.
