50th Anniversary for Margam Crematorium - now a Grade II listed building
The Crematorium was officially opened on the 25th April 1969 and has since undertaken over 65,000 cremations.
In 2016, the Crematorium became a Grade II listed building by Wales’s historical monuments body Cadw for its special architectural and historic interest “as a fine example of a post-war crematorium”.
In awarding the building its status, Cadw said: “The building is especially imaginative and creative in responding to the design challenges of the building type, with a plan and layout that skilfully handles the circulation of users through the building and separates its functions, and with a simplicity of design and detail that helps to create a sense of spirituality appropriate to its purpose.”
