Monument Inscriptions - Cremations

Most of the cremation memorials in Burton Latimer churchyard are dedicated to loved ones cremated at Kettering Crematorium, although some have been brought here from further afield. The stones date from the mid-late 1980s and are not a comprehensive record: all cremations are recorded in a book kept in the church.  Cremated remains have also been interred in graves containing other family members; they will not be on this list.

The crematorium in Kettering opened on the 24th of April 1940 with the first cremation taking place on the 7th May 1940.

The crematorium itself houses two chapels, the Albert Munn that can seat about 88 and the Edgar Newman that will seat about 52.
