A Tranquil and Award-Winning Design

Built in partnership between Dignity and Wyre Forest District Council to provide a multi-use funeral facility for Kidderminster and the surrounding areas, the Wyre Forest Crematorium project involves tiers of sweeping radial wood ceilings and soffits in Western Red Cedar, creating a tranquil and unique aesthetic.

The concept driven design by Howl Associates was “..based on a water droplet falling into a pool creating ripples being analogous to how one person’s life affects those around them during their lifetime.” The scheme, built by Herbert Baggaley Construction has also been designed to a BREEAM ‘Very Good’ rating and resulted in the project receiving the RIBA 2012 West Midlands Project of the Year.
