The Memorial Awareness Board (MAB) has been promoting and organising the Cemetery of the Year Awards for nearly 20 years. The North Hertfordshire site near Hitchin won the 2022/23 Silver prize in the Small Medium Burial Ground category of the National Competition and received the award in September.
Philip Potts of the Memorial Awareness Board said.
The awards are an excellent opportunity to reward hard-working staff and demonstrate the central role Cemeteries can play in the community. They provide places of peaceful contemplation and beauty,< as well as their ecological importance. The team at North Hertfordshire performed exceptionally throughout the extensive judging period which is focused on Industry Standards, Environmental Issues and Good Practice.
Donna Rogers Assistant Manager said:
This award is such a wonderful pat on the back for our team, it acknowledges that we really go above and beyond to try and provide a reliable, friendly and quality service. My team and I are thrilled.
