Oakfield Gardens Crematorium from outside with long water channel leading to the window of chapelWe are delighted to learn that Oakfield Gardens Crematorium is in the running to win Project of the Year (£10-£25 million) at the NBCA Awards, 2024.

Peter Dann were a part of the multidisciplinary team delivering this pioneering project alongside DT Architects and contractors SMD Ltd (who have been shortlisted) for client Central Bedfordshire County Council.

Sustainability was a driving force, with minimal impact on the environment. Hunter Douglas provided bespoke wood finishes using FSC-certified oak and accoya, creating an organic and serene environment inside and out. The crematorium relates to its softly landscaped gardens of remembrance, with a running water feature at one end of the service hall.
