A total of £12,000 has been donated to two charities thanks to a Havant crematorium and the generosity of bereaved loved ones.
The donations are thanks to the kindness of families who have funerals at The Oaks Havant Crematorium and agree for any metals which remain after cremation to be recycled.
Target Ovarian Cancer and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust were chosen by colleagues at the crematorium to receive the money as both of them hold a very special place in their hearts.
Target Ovarian Cancer is committed to fighting for a world where everyone with ovarian cancer lives, targeting what's important - symptoms awareness, early diagnosis, better treatments, and support for all.
Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust will also receive £6,000 funding and have a long standing relationship with the crematorium after working with the team to make its surroundings more wildlife friendly since it opened nearly a decade ago.
Set in 14 acres providing a picturesque setting and a space for all cultures, ages and beliefs, the crematorium has also been designated as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation.
The Trust's Fundraising Assistant, Lauren Tibbetts, said: "This generous donation will help us continue our work making more spaces for wildlife to thrive and creating a wilder future for us all. Thank you on behalf of everyone at the Trust for the continued support."
With families express consent, funding is raised through a national recycling scheme run by the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management.
