Mansfield’s cemeteries in Mansfield, Mansfield Woodhouse, Warsop and Pleasley Hill, which are run by Mansfield District Council, were among 37 teams to achieve the gold award. The crematorium, run jointly by Mansfield District, Ashfield District and Newark and Sherwood District Councils, was among 47 teams in the country to be awarded gold for its service.
