Thornhill Crematorium and
Cemetery picked up a coveted Cemetery of the Year award for the second time, having
previously scooped the honour in 2016.
The wider Bereavement Services
team have also been named Best Service Team of the Year in the Cemetery and
Crematorium category at the APSE (Association for Public Service Excellence)
Service Awards.
The annual APSE awards celebrate
the very best in local government frontline services across the UK. The
Bereavement Services team last won this category 3 years ago.
Cabinet Member with
responsibility for Bereavement Services, Cllr Michael Michael, said: “I know the
Bereavement Services team take great pride in working for Cardiff, and providing
the best possible service at what can be an incredibly difficult time in
people’s lives.
“Winning these two awards is fantastic
recognition for their commitment and hard-work and demonstrates that, despite
the ongoing financial pressures facing local authorities across the UK, we
continue to deliver quality services to the people of Cardiff.”
