Chilterns Crematorium proudly participates within the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management’s (ICCM) Metal Recycling Scheme. The scheme offers families the opportunity to give consent for the recycling of metals resulting from cremation. These include metals used in orthopaedic implants such as hip and knee replacements and in the construction of coffins.
The Scheme has raised over £19 million for charities during since it was first created. A heartfelt thanks go to the bereaved that give their consent to recycle these metals.
This year our participation within the scheme raised an incredible £11,600
