A £500 donation has been given by North Wiltshire Crematorium in Royal Wootton Bassett to support a local funeral director who is raising money for Alzheimer’s Society.
Odette is a familiar face at North Wiltshire Crematorium, which is why the team there decided to support her efforts.
North Wiltshire Crematorium manager Katie Capel said: “Odette, just like us, supports many bereaved in our community and is a valued attendee at our crematorium.
“The Alzheimer’s Society is a charity dear to her heart as well as the hearts of everyone working at North Wiltshire.
“That made it a very easy decision to support the Odette Trek26 fundraiser.
“It’s an honour and a privilege for us to be able to support a friend of our crematorium in raising money for a charity which provides such valuable support for people in our local community.”
The donation was made from the crematorium’s metal recycling fund.
With the consent of families, metals recovered during cremation are recycled and any money raised is used to support charities and other worthy causes in the communities surrounding every crematorium and cemetery which are part of Westerleigh Group.
Westerleigh Group is one of the UK’s largest independent owners and operators of crematoria and cemeteries, with 38 sites in England, Scotland and Wales, all set within landscaped gardens of remembrance which provide pleasant, peaceful places for people to visit and reflect.
