A new remembrance garden has opened at Worthing Crematorium, offering families more space to lay their loved ones to rest.
Created by Worthing Borough Council, the garden sits on the historic grounds of the former Muntham Court country house, blending tranquillity with local heritage.
There is space for over 330 new permanent resting places, including 223 duo plots for couples and 116 quad plots for families.
Other types of memorials are also available at Worthing Crematorium, including three glades for scattering cremated remains, a wall of remembrance, oak post plaques or an entry in the book of remembrance.
Cllr Rita Garner, Worthing’s cabinet member for regeneration, said: “We’re extremely happy to be able to open up the new remembrance garden at Worthing Crematorium for families to provide a peaceful resting place for their loved ones.
“The team at the crematorium have worked hard to create a beautiful garden that will offer peace and tranquillity to those remembering friends and family.”
