Falkirk Crematorium was awarded a prize from the Falkirk and District Arts and Civic Council following the refurbishment and extension carried out by Clark Contracts.
On Thursday 5th July, Clark Contracts attended an awards ceremony where the project team gathered to see the presentation of the award to the team at Falkirk Council.
The Civic Award is awarded to an organisation or individual who has made a significant contribution to the local community with regards to civic amenities, enterprise, economy or the environment.
The Council received the award for the refurbishment of Falkirk Crematorium, which was completed towards the end of last year, for its contribution to civic amenities.
This £2.6million project was led by the Community Design Team in Development Services, and the refurbishment work was carried out by Clark Contracts. The work included the replacement of the three cremators, extension of the chapel to accommodate larger services, partial enclosure of the loggia to increase privacy for mourners, and improvement of the facilities for the public.
Previous recipients have included Falkirk Wheel, Helix Beehive, Muiravonside Sculpture Poetry Trail and Falkirk Trinity Church.
The plaque was presented to Councillor Paul Garner, Portfolio Holder – Environment.
Michael Scanlan, Director, Clark Contracts said “It was fantastic to see our project at Falkirk Crematorium recognised for its contribution to civic amenities in the area. We look forward to working with Falkirk Council again in the future”.
