Council to spend £7.6k on improving crematorium music

Douglas Council says it's spending just over £7,500 making it easier for families to play music or video at the crematorium.

At its last meeting, the Regeneration and Community committee considered the facilities currently provided, saying multiple systems meant the risk of technical problems.

They voted to accept a quote from Wesley Media to provide the new service, which would simplify audio and visual tributes during ceremonies.

In future, funeral directors or families will be able to supply a USB stick to play tributes.
