Talk:Birmingham Crematorium

Notable cremations - need cremation dates be insisted on?
I notice there is a preformat for cremation dates in the list of notable people cremated here. However I question a cremation date - not given in other articles on crematoria - as something to insist on - because many had private cremations without an announced date. For example, no date was given in his obituary for that of Sir Henry Maybury; he died on 7 January 1943 and his cremation, with venue stated as Perry Barr Crematorium (the subject of this page) was reported already taken place in a newspaper obituary of 18 January. I sometimes wonder if that might be putting users off? Cloptonson (talk) 19:14, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

'Protestant' Crematorium
I was surprised to see Perry Barr described lately as a 'Protestant Crematorium'. Was it purposely designated as such and were there any religious restrictions? I understand that papally Catholics were not allowed to be cremated until 1963, and, given Birmingham's multiracial character, Hindus and Sikhs could also have been cremated here.Cloptonson (talk) 21:19, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
