Bristol Memorial Woodlands undergoes £100,000 upgrade
Bristol Memorial Woodlands has undergone an external rejuvenation with over £100,000 invested in the project.
The renovations covered various aspects, such as resurfacing the main driveway and other improvements across the expansive 100-acre site.
The resurfacing extended along the entire length of the driveway, reaching the Georgian Reception Rooms and branching out to the offices housed in the site’s historic farmhouse.
Using 450 tonnes of material, the project covered over a kilometre of ground.
Additionally, the enhancement initiative involved reconfiguring the grounds, and performing general maintenance, and marked the first-ever closure of the site to the public in its 25-year history.
Chris Baker, founder of the Woodlands, said: “We are delighted with the results of our recent project, which was important to us to maintain the appearance and quality of the site for our valued customers. The winding driveway is one of the statement features of our venue and sets the tone for your experience here before you even get to the beautiful woodlands we are creating.
“In the fullness of time, the gravel will be removed altogether as part of our vision for an ecological site. Having to close to the public was a big decision but we felt that it would be worth it for the resulting customer experience. We were pleased to remain open for those families who had been recently bereaved, needing our services, and those families wanting particular access to visit their loved ones.
“Our picturesque setting is what sets us apart from other funeral venues in the area. We are offering not only a wonderful place to hold an event to celebrate the life of your loved one but also a beautiful location to visit for generations to come.”
