Burial in an existing grave
If you already have an existing family grave in the cemetery, arrangements can be made for the interment of cremated remains in this grave providing the deed holder’s permission is given or if the deed holder is the deceased. Further inscription of the memorial can be arranged under the same conditions.
If you need help with finding a family grave please phone 01284 757068.

In September 2010 a special memorial in memory of stillborn babies was unveiled. It is hoped that this will provide help with the grieving process for families. There are still dedicated plaques available to purchase, for more information contact the Cemetery Registrar on 01284 757068.
