Grieving families have helped to raise money for good causes by taking part in Kingsdown Crematorium's metal recycling scheme.
During the last 10 years, the Crematorium has raised more than £132,000 for various charities.
A spokesperson said: "When the Crematorium hosts a funeral for a loved one, families are able to give consent for the metals from any cremations to be recycled through a national scheme run by the ICCM (Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management).
"All the money then received from the recycling is donated to charity."
Earlier this month, Zoe from the team at Kingsdown Crematorium, was able to hand over a cheque for £11,600 to Prospect Hospice.
Since 2014, donations have been given to a number of charities including Wiltshire Treehouse, Mind, Swindon Sands Community and Wiltshire Air Ambulance.
The spokesperson added: "Thank you to the families who have helped raise this money. By choosing to recycle the metals, your loved one has been able to help countless others after they’ve passed away."
