Available at our Carlton Cemetery, this special area is adjacent to the garden of rest and is available for scattering of ashes in a natural meadowland environment. No memorials are permitted in this area.
You are free to choose any Stonemason that is approved to work in our cemeteries, with details of local stonemasons available on the Yellow Pages website. (External site)
Please note that the grave owner has sole responsibility for the safety and maintenance of the memorial. We are not responsible for repairs or for damage caused by storms or vandalism, so we suggest that insurance is taken out on all memorials.
All our graves must be registered in one name only, although you may request to transfer your exclusive rights of burial after five years by writing to our Cemeteries team at the Civic Centre.
You can also make a written request to sell your Rights of Burial back to the council at the original purchase price. To make a request, please write to our Cemeteries team at the Civic Centre including your original grave deeds where possible.
