There are areas set aside for the interment of coffins and cremated remains and separate areas for the burial of babies and young children. There is a chapel for services of any denomination.

We are committed to:

  • providing you with an efficient and caring service which best meets your personal needs;
  • improving our service by listening to your views and sympathetically reviewing your needs;
  • ensuring that friendly and well trained staff are available to help and advise you;
  • ensuring that our cemeteries provide a choice of burial and are attractive, safe and well maintained; and
  • assisting your chosen funeral director to provide a high quality service or advise you how to arrange the burial yourself.
