KGH MORTUARY CLOSURE


  🚨 IMPORTANT LOCAL ISSUE - WE NEED YOUR VOICE 🚨

A vital service in our community is being quietly taken away.  

The mortuary at Kettering General Hospital is closing - from the autumn, anyone who passes away at the hospital will be transported to a new facility in Northampton. That’s up to 45 minutes away from families in North Northamptonshire.  

There was no public consultation, no clear communication, and there are a lot of questions without answers.

For grieving families, knowing their loved one is close brings huge comfort. Taking that away isn’t just a logistical issue, it’s an emotional one. And it doesn’t make sense environmentally

This decision has been both underreported and poorly communicated.

Why is this important?

This closure will have a huge impact on a daily basis for all those who lose a family member. We need your support in the community to reverse this decision before it happens

How it will be delivered
