Lea Fields Crem achieves bronze funeral standard award

Lea Fields Crematorium has received a bronze award from the Greener Globe Funeral Standard, as the facility has taken steps to ensure its operations are environmentally conscious. 

The accolade has recognised the crematorium’s commitment to adopting and implementing a comprehensive environmental policy, as well as ensuring that all staff are informed and actively engaged in its green ethos.

Lea Fields has taken measures to reduce its ecological footprint, from energy-efficient processes to waste reduction and sustainable landscape practices. 

As part of the recognition, Lea Fields Crematorium has been granted the right to display the Greener Globe Funeral Standard logo on its premises and in its branding materials, including stationery and emails. 

Cllr Stephen Bunney, chair of the Environment, Climate and Sustainability Working Group at West Lindsey District Council, which runs the crematorium, said: “This award is a testament to the dedication of the Lea Fields Crematorium team and their commitment to making sustainability a core part of their mission. By reducing environmental impacts and promoting greener practices, they are setting an example for other facilities in the region. 

“As a council, we are proud to see this initiative align with our broader environmental goals.”

Deborah Balsdon, manager of Lea Fields Crematorium, added: “We are delighted to receive the Bronze Award from the Greener Globe Funeral Standard. Sustainability is at the heart of what we do at Lea Fields, and this recognition reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team. We will continue to strive for even greater environmental standards to better serve our community and our planet.”
