Information about burials

We understand how deeply difficult the loss of a child can be. Our aim is to support families with sensitivity and care, ensuring that every child is honoured with dignity and compassion.

For Children (24 Weeks Gestation up to 18 Years)

Thanks to the Children’s Funeral Fund, selected burial plots, burial costs and memorial permit application for children and young people from 24 weeks gestation up to 18 years of age are fully covered. Please note that all claims must be submitted within six months of the funeral.

For more information about what the fund covers and how it works, please visit the official government webpage.

We welcome burials from outside the borough. While non-resident burial costs are typically three times higher than those for residents, the Children’s Funeral Fund may cover these costs if a compelling reason is provided by the family or funeral director as to why the burial should take place in this cemetery.

We also provide, free of charge:

• Use of our chapel for a one-hour slot (including a 40-minute service)
• Live & On Demand Streaming of the service
• A Single Photo tribute
• Your choice of either:
  • A Basic Slideshow (up to 25 photos)
  • A Music Tribute (up to 25 photos)

Alternatively, the value of the media services can be credited toward an upgraded tribute or media package (excluding Keepsakes).

For Babies Under 24 Weeks Gestation

We offer families the option of a burial plot in our Memorial Garden at no cost.

We also provide, free of charge:
