Churchyards

The majority of churchyards in England (and our region) are associated with the Anglican Church and the Roman Catholic Church. Some have many plots, some a few and some are full and closed to burials. If you are unsure if a specific church has the option of burial please give us a call to discuss.

Cemetery

Most towns and cities have one, or a number of cemeteries. Some villages have a small cemetery, especially when the churchyards are full and have been closed. The majority are run by village, or town councils. The larger ones are sometimes run by county councils. Aside from these there are a number of privately owned and run cemeteries.

What & Where?

Many people do not visit churchyards and cemeteries on a regular basis, so when it comes to a time when we have to find a plot it can be a little confusing, erspecially if you have family in a churchyard, or cemetery that is now closed - where do you go. Hopefully this may help;
