Cemetery charges

Burial information

All prices and procedures apply to standard-sized coffins (6’10” long × 2’6” wide × 1’3” deep).
If a larger coffin is needed, alternative burial arrangements may be required. This could include using a different plot or location for operational reasons.
The council is not responsible for any extra costs related to larger coffins or alternative arrangements requested or required by families.
