The proposals include a single storey building which ‘bears many similarities’ to one the applicants already own in Surfleet.
It would be accessed via Haddington Lane, and would include an 85 space car park, gardens and landscaping.
The crematorium site west of Thurlby Road.
Andy Bowser, from South Lincolnshire Crematorium, said: “This will provide much-improved accessibility and better service for the majority of North Kesteven population. This in turn will cut down journey times and reduce stress by being greater certainty to mourners.
“The new facility will offer tranquil and peaceful rural settings away from the harsh urban surroundings and traffic.
“It will also offer a fresh, new and modern venue that will improve people’s overall experience at a difficult time.”
The applicants added that the crematorium would relieve pressure on the current service in Lincoln which is “beyond its practical capacity”.
Meanwhile, the applicant said in their plans that it is “widely accepted” that the service is needed in the region.

Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) has confirmed plans to jet-wash blocked gullies in Leadenham following persistent flooding, which has left residents and businesses in constant fear of property damage during heavy rainfall.
The council intends to jet the A607 outside Leadenham Post Office as an urgent measure to mitigate ongoing flood risks, with a full clean scheduled for January. The announcement comes after a plea from Leadenham Parish Councillor Martyn Everett, who highlighted significant flooding along Sleaford Road.
A senior lecturer recently celebrated the news that East Midlands Railway will increase its train capacity on what he felt was an “overcrowded” service between Lincoln and Leicester.
Amir Badiee lives in Loughborough and for the past seven years has been commuting to his job at the University of Lincoln, but over the last two years he believes the train service has got worse. When he complained back in March he said he didn’t receive any response, but he believes his recent concerns aired in The Lincolnite helped to prompt a positive outcome.
