CREMATIONS in Dunfermline will soon move to Kirkcaldy for around 12 weeks. Work is set to begin at the crematorium on Masterton Road as part of a £1.6 million investment between the two locations. Fife Council has almost completed upgrades at Kirkcaldy Crematorium and Dunfermline is next on its agenda. Dunfermline will be closed for a “short while”, Fife Council says, as work starts on June 7 with “around 12 weeks” being the deadline for the project. No target date has been set. The work carried out in Kirkcaldy allows all cremators to operate at the same time and will be able to carry out the same number of funerals even though Dunfermline will be closed to have its cremators replaced.
