The motto of Bradwell is "We care, we share", and it is highlighted by a structure situated on the East side of the Bursley Way roundabout. The suburb contains Bradwell Crematorium, in Chatterley Close. It was built by the Newcastle Borough Council, who still own the facility, and officially opened in February 1965. It is in 12 acres of landscaped grounds which include two fishponds near the chapel area.

The Council regularly enters the grounds as part of its contribution to the Britain in Bloom Competition.
