Buying a Grave

Grave Options

There are different types of graves available within our cemeteries; however, not all types are available in every cemetery.


We respect the individual needs and choice of each family and, wherever possible, we will endeavour to meet their wishes.


If you would like any information on the types of grave available in a particular cemetery ar have any questions about the different types of grave, we would be glad to assist you.  Our contact details are shown in the 'who to contact' section of this page.




Traditional Graves

 
These graves are suitable for the burial of three adults. A single memorial may be placed on the grave and the whole grave space may be planted with suitable shrubs, plants or flowers.
You may buy the Exclusive Right of Burial for either 50 years or 100 years.


Lawn Graves


This type of grave is suitable for two adult interments, although permission may be given for the burial of a baby or infant before the two adults. A single memorial is permitted on this type of grave and a small bed will be prepared at the head of the grave for planting with suitable shrubs, plants or flowers. The remainder of the grave space will be maintained as a lawn and no plants or other items must be placed in this area.
You may buy the Exclusive Right of Burial for either 50 years or 100 years.


Cremated Remains Gardens

 
Graves within our Cremated Remains Gardens are suitable for the interment of two sets of cremated remains. A small memorial may be placed on the memorial beam at the head of the grave, but the whole of the grave space will be maintained as a lawn.
You may buy the Exclusive Right of Burial for a period of 25 years.


Babies Burial Gardens

 
With the exception of Egglescliffe Cemetery, an area has been set aside in our cemeteries for the burial of neonatal, stillborn and infants up to the age of one month. These graves are suitable for one burial only. As with the Cremated Remains Gardens, a single memorial is permitted, and the entire grave space will be maintained as a lawn.
