The Chesterfield and District Joint Crematorium Committee (which includes representatives of the Chesterfield Borough Council) is responsible for the administration of the Chesterfield and District Crematorium. The Joint Crematorium Committee are also members of the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management's Charter for the Bereaved.
Each year, the Crematorium undertakes a self-assessment of its performance under the terms of the Charter. One of the self-assessment questions is: "Is advice on embalming available as a leaflet on request?" The Institute advises that this information is available from the ICCM website.
The advice contained on our website is taken from the First Edition of the Charter Booklet, published by the ICCM in March 1996. It appears that this advice was updated in 2003 and that the content relating to embalming is much reduced. The current version of the Charter Booklet can be viewed at
