Closed church burial grounds

We are responsible for the maintenance of four closed church burial grounds.

While these sites are officially closed for the purchase of new grave plots, interments may still take place in existing plots where space allows, and some churches continue to accept ashes interments. These burial grounds continue to serve as places of quiet reflection, remembrance, and community heritage.

Please note that each church manages its own burial records and should be contacted directly for enquiries regarding interments or grave information.
