An artist’s impression of a memorial garden at Babworth Crematorium to honour those who have died during the Covid-19 pandemic has been unveiled.

Westerleigh Group, which owns and operates the crematorium, announced its intention last month to create a garden of remembrance at each of its 34 sites across the country.

Amanda Carr, site manager, said: “The new garden will be a tranquil place for people to visit and remember loved ones who died during the pandemic, and to pay tribute to those who sacrificed so much to help others who were sick, isolated or vulnerable.

“The centrepiece of each garden will be a stone monument surrounded by a floral arrangement representing a rainbow, which has become a symbol of hope during the pandemic.
