Watch: New building a better setting for visitors to Oswestry Cemetery
A shabby portable building and temporary toilets at Oswestry Cemetery have been replaced by a new building with private rooms, toilets and showers.

Work was completed on the new building a week ago and the building has now been officially handed over by the contractors.
Town mayor, Councillor Peter Cherrington, said it's a far cry from the former facilities.
"The new building will benefit visitors to the cemetery, local undertakers and our staff," he said.
"There are private rooms if a family wants to talk with the chaplain or just sit quietly for a while, there are toilets including disabled toilets, and there's a shower. We were going to put in solar panels but we decided against it and we've put an air source heat pump unit in instead.
