bereaved families in Liverpool.<\/p>\n<p>Six charities have received donations totalling \u00a360,000, as part of a metal recycling scheme run by Liverpool City Council\u2019s Bereavement Service (pictured above).<\/p>\n<p>This marks the first time the Council has carried out metal recycling following cremations, and the initiative is set to continue in future.<\/p>\n<p><a

src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/trustpilot-web10.png\" alt=\"TRUSTPILOT WEB10\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The charities offer a range of services for people experiencing loss and grief, as well as support and guidance for people receiving end of life care.<\/p>\n<p>Each charity has received a donation of \u00a310,000 to help continue their work.<\/p>\n<p>The six charities to receive donations are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Good Grief Trust.<\/li>\n<li>University of Liverpool\u2019s Human Anatomy Resource Centre (HARC).<\/li>\n<li>Liverpool University Hospitals Charity.<\/li>\n<li>Liverpool Women\u2019s Hospital Charity.<\/li>\n<li>The Marina Dalglish Appeal.<\/li>\n<li>Samaritans<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u00a0With the consent of relatives, the Council collects metal objects following the cremation process and sends them to be recycled.<\/p>\n<p>This may include artificial joints, metal plates and construction metals from coffins.<\/p>\n<p>All metals are sent to OrthoMetals, who also supply recycling services for the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management (ICCM) and more than 1,300 crematoria worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>The money that the Council receives for recycling these metals is then given back in full to bereavement charities.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone registering a death in the city will also soon receive a condolence and signposting card, created by The Good Grief Trust as part of a new initiative to further support those going through bereavement.<\/p>\n<p>This is in addition to discreet information plaques for the charity, which are installed on all pews across the city\u2019s crematoria.<\/p>\n<p>Councillor Laura Robertson-Collins, Cabinet Member for Communities, Neighbourhoods and Streetscene, said: \u201cLosing a loved one is one of the hardest things for people to experience, and these charities provide invaluable support and a real listening ear during an incredibly difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur metal recycling scheme is a way to support bereavement charities that provide vital work in the community, and we\u2019re honoured to be able to help them to do so.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to offer our thanks to the bereaved families who give their consent to support the scheme.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that this provides them with some level of comfort during a difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Linda Magistris OBE, CEO and Founder of Good Grief Trust, said: \u201cWe are extremely grateful for this generous donation from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.inyourarea.co.uk\/news\/tag\/liverpool\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool City Council<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Good Grief Trust is proud to be working closely with this incredible team, to ensure bereaved families across the region are fully supported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe installation of our Help and Hope plaques on pews in the chapel is a key initiative that we hope other UK crematoria nationwide will follow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOffering immediate access to a wealth of bereavement services, from day one, is vital, and we know this simple initiative will raise greater awareness of the support available to those grieving, at the hardest of times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also look forward to providing our Good Grief Condolence and Signposting cards to support the work of Liverpool City Council Registrar\u2019s office, which will be given to more than 7000 bereaved families, per year, at the time of registering a death.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Location: Liverpool,
