NORMAL OPENING HOURS RESUME AT CEMETERIES BUT 'FAMILY ONLY' RESTRICTIONS STILL APPLY AT GRIMSBY FUNERALS

NORMAL opening hours have resumed at North East Lincolnshire's cemeteries and crematorium grounds.

Opening times at the council cemeteries on Scartho Road and off Trinity Road, Cleethorpes, had been reduced due to the coronavirus outbreak.

This was to allow staff to carry out essential duties and keep to social distancing rules.

However, it's now back to normal.

In Grimsby, the crematorium grounds are also now open as usual but the crematorium building still remains closed to the public except for those attending a funeral.

Funerals are continuing to operate as normal, but only immediate family are allowed to attend.

Says NELC: "All visitors attending a funeral must abide by social distancing rules at all times to reduce the risk of spreading the virus."

The crematorium offices are closed to the public.
