The council identified a need for a new facility in Holderness because of the lengthy travel time involved for local people to get to existing sites and the impact this has on them at the difficult time of bereavement .
Procured under YORbuild2 , the state-of-the-art facility is the first to be completed in the region for 25 years . The contractor worked alongside East Riding of Yorkshire Council ’ s Building Design team to deliver the £ 9.6m project .
Throughout the build , Kier maintained ongoing supply chain engagement . This in turn helped forecast and manage potential delays , due to materials shortages and rising fuel , labour and materials costs .
Lelley Fields is designed to accommodate every aspect of a modern cremation service in the best possible way . It offers services that meet the spiritual , social , ethical and environmental needs of the community while providing everyone with a meaningful and personal funeral .
When visitors arrive , they will find ample and discrete parking , sited to keep traffic separate from visitors and services . Access to the single storey building is step-free and inside there are accessible toilets , baby changing facilities and a private family room .
The light and airy Service Halls have feature windows to bring the Holderness landscape into the space , which is designed for comfort and adaptability with the use of individual seats and a movable catafalque .
Outside , the porches above the entrance doors are higher than normal , allowing large and unusual funeral vehicles easy access . Throughout the site , visitors will see local building materials and plants and the art and memorials have been created by UK artists .
