Hurlet Crematorium near Glasgow has restricted access after rubbish was dumped in its car park.

Hurlet Crematorium near Glasgow has restricted access to its grounds after staff discovered fly-tipped rubbish in the car park. Images shared by the crematorium show a pile of discarded items left at the edge of the car park. The crematorium said the incident was particularly distressing because its grounds and memorial gardens are intended to provide a peaceful place for families remembering loved ones.

Following the discovery, the crematorium has locked its main gates whenever staff are not on site. At weekends, the gates will be open between 11am and 3pm. A separate pedestrian access gate is being installed to allow people to continue visiting the gardens while the main vehicle entrance remains secured. The crematorium said it recognised that families often visit the memorial gardens outside normal working hours and apologised for the impact the change could have.
