City announces expansion project for enhanced capacity at Maitland Crematorium.
The Maitland Crematorium is currently undergoing R17,6 million vital infrastructure upgrades. These improvements are designed to bolster the facility's capabilities, enhance cremation capacity and better meet the community's needs.
The project includes the installation of two new cremators, the expansion of refrigeration facilities and general building improvements.
During the works, the witnessing services will be suspended due to noise and the utilisation of heavy machinery, such as cranes.
Also, for a duration of approximately two weeks, chapel services will be reduced to Saturdays only.
The crematorium has provided a refrigeration reefer for alternative storage space of up to 50 coffins while expanding the refrigeration unit. Inspections have been conducted on the refrigeration units to ensure that the highest standards are met. The new cremators arrived on site last week, and work is now under way to install them.
It is expected that the new cremators will be operational by mid-December, with the full commissioning of both units expected in March 2024.
