Light Up The Night – Huntingdon Crematorium Chapel
Wednesday 27th November 2024 – at 6pm
Huntingdon Crematorium will be hosting its annual Light up the Night Event, to support Cruse Bereavement on 27th November. A memorial service will be held at 6pm in the chapel, followed by light refreshments in the Sapley Lodge and an opportunity to light a candle in remembrance of a loved one.
Light up the Night was created to give friends and family an opportunity for shared remembrance of loved ones who have died, in a place of unique calm, peace, hope and community.
If you would like to attend, please email the crematorium (huntingdon.crematorium@huntingdontown.gov.uk) to confirm your attendance.
During the service there will be a visual tribute which will take the form of images set to a piece of music. If you would like a picture including in the visual tribute, please send the image to the email address above. There will also be space to have a name or a brief message on screen with the image and if you wish to have this included, please let us know in the email.
Please be aware that due to the length of the tribute, we can only show one image per person and we can only include 40 images in total. This means that we are only able to use the first 40 images that we receive.

Heritage Morning – Priory Road Cemetery
Huntingdon Crematorium and Cemeteries hosted a Heritage Morning at Priory Road Cemetery and Chapel on Saturday 14th September 2024.

The cemetery and chapel was open to the public in the morning to allow any persons who wanted to trace interments of long-lost relatives, look at the cemetery records which date back to the 1850s or just have a walk around the peaceful cemetery. Help was available for anyone searching for specific graves and there was a WW1 walk and talk held at 11am.
