Burial
Burials commonly take place in a churchyard or cemetery. Churchyards refer to burial sites in church grounds and usually have restrictions on who can be buried there. Many cemeteries accept religious and non-religious burials, although some are reserved exclusively for a single faith. Your funeral arranger will be able to advise you on the suitability of each burial ground in the local area.
If the deceased is to be buried in a new grave, we can assist you with locating and purchasing a new plot. If there is already a grave (often part of a family plot), we can assist you in finding out if there is space for a further burial and arranging for the deceased to be buried there.
Cremation
All local crematoria have gardens of remembrance, where ashes can be laid to rest in peace and tranquillity. You will be able to choose from various forms of memorial at the crematorium, such as an entry in a book of remembrance or a miniature headstone.
Most local burial grounds have an area set aside for the interment of cremated remains. They usually permit a memorial to your loved one, with most preferring the cremated remains to be interred in some form of container.
Alternatively, you might wish to have the cremated remains returned to you as a personal remembrance. We can make the necessary arrangements for this, as well as offering a wide selection of caskets and urns.
