Lincoln Crematorium will now only open for funeral services after the authority shut the Gardens of Remembrance today.
The crematorium already had a series of restrictions in place including the waiting room being closed, enhanced cleaning of facilities and visitors being discouraged from touching coffins.
The reception and book of remembrance rooms were also both closed.
Simon Colburn, assistant director for health and environment said: “We have made the decision to shut the Gardens of Remembrance at Lincoln Crematorium until further notice.
“This means that the whole of the crematorium site is now closed to the public except to those attending funeral services.
“This is following government advice and regulations to ensure we comply with social distancing requirements and reduce the risk of infection for staff and the public so we can continue to provide valuable services.”
Cemeteries across the city, however, remain open.

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
