Craven District Council is a full member of the Federation of British Cremation Authorities (FBCA) and operates under its strict code of practice.
In accordance with industry guiding principles on cremation, Craven area’s policy allows for the holding over of cremations, principally to contribute to the reduction of harmful emissions.
It was once acceptable to bury implants within the cemetery, but now it's a huge environmental concern. Implants are made from medical grade stainless steel, titanium and cobalt chrome - all non-renewable resources.
Metal recycling is carried out at Skipton Crematorium in accordance with the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management (ICCM) guidelines. We seek consent for the sensitive recycling of metals after cremation. All metal residues from the cremation process are sent to be recycled unless otherwise stated in the application form. Money raised from recycled metals is donated to local or national death related charities in the UK.
If you don't want the metals to be recycled we are happy to return them to you or leave them in the cremated remains. If they're left in the cremated remains they would need to be buried rather than scattered. Other metals may also be returned including ferrous metals, mainly nails from the coffin, and some small granules of precious metals.
Some burial schemes, such as woodland burial, may prohibit the use of chemicals including horticultural chemicals. Although research into the effects of embalming fluid on soil organisms and air quality is limited, environmentalists will generally disapprove of embalming.
Those who have concerns over the effects of embalming and the environment have the right to stipulate that this is not carried out.
Craven area's bereavement team were awarded gold for cremation and silver for burial in 2018 and again in 2019's annual charter for the bereaved assessment.
You can find a full copy of the charter for the bereaved on the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management (ICCM) website.
