Purchased Graves
In most cases the grant of exclusive right of purchase to a grave space or cremated remains plot is purchased either in advance or at the time of the interment. These rights give the grant owner the right of burial in a specific grave space and also gives the owner the right to allow further interments in the grave (space permitting). If a grave space is selected out of rotation, an additional fee may be made. It is possible to have two burials in on grave space. Cremated remains may be interred in either a full size grave space or in a cremated remains plot. If you would like to purchase a grave space |please download the application form.
Unpurchased Graves
Where the grant of exclusive right of burial is not purchased, the deceased will be interred in a grave space with unrelated people. There are no memorial rights with unpurchased graves.
Lawn Grave
Most of our new sections are designed as a lawn section meaning that the memorials are restricted to headstones only which are fixed onto a concrete beam that runs along the head of each row. This allows for ease of maintenance to large lawn areas giving a well maintained appearance. The headstone does not need to be removed if the grave is to be re-opened.
This type of grave allows for ease of visiting without having to walk in-between kerb stones and although only headstones are permitted, we welcome individual choice regarding type of stone and inscription.
Traditional Grave
There are a few of this type of grave still available in the older sections in our Cemeteries other than Long Ditton Cemetery which is a Lawn type Cemetery.
On a traditional grave, full kerb memorials are permitted. The is usually an increased cost due to the maintenance of the memorial and the cost of removal and replacement following a subsequent burial.
Child Grave
There are sections within the cemeteries especially for the interment of children. Alternatively, family grave spaces are available for the subsequent interment of the parents in the same grave.
Cremated Remains Plot
In the cremated remains sections, you can purchase a cremated remains plot which can accommodate up to two interments of cremated remains. A flat tablet only, no more than 18" square may be placed on the plot.
Alternatively, you can purchase a full size grave space and inter up to six sets of cremated remains. It is also possible to inter both full burials and cremated remains in a grave space together.
