Burials and Cemeteries Service |
The types of graves currently available in our cemeteries are: lawn
grave, traditional kerb grave, baby/infant and children's grave and
cremated remains remembrance gardens. Each of these has different
memorials and restrictions.
There are five different types of graves in our cemeteries. All
five are very different from each other in terms of cost and type
of memorial.
For all purchased graves, leases are granted for a period of 75
years with the option to extend the lease for five-year periods at
a time.
Whoever takes out the grave lease is registered as the owner of the
grave. This person then has complete control over who is
subsequently buried in the grave. All other members of the family
should be made aware of, and accept, this. Otherwise problems could
arise if, for example, there is a disagreement in the family at a
later date.
We strongly advise that you visit your chosen cemetery to see the
different types of graves and memorials and benefit from the advice
available from our trained staff.
