Purchasing a grave
You can make arrangements to buy the rights of burial of a grave
space for a period of 99 years at the cemetery office. You

the cemetery office for further advice, or speak to your funeral

Selecting a grave plot
The council offers two types of plot – a lawn burial grave or
a cremation only grave.
We also have a wide range of memorials available for remembrence walls and benches. The cemetery office staff can offer further advice.
Burial plots
Situated at Fox's Bank Lane Cemetery, both Alder and Birch Gardens
have been designed for burial plots. You can purchase graves
for up to three coffins. These graves also allow for a
further four cremated remains caskets.
Cremated remains graves
A special area for
the burial of a loved ones ashes is located at Fox's Bank Lane
Cemetery.
Each plot is allocated with a 99 year right of burial and will accpet up to six sets of ashes. Arrangements can be remained to place a memorial headstone on the grave.
As part of our ongoing commitment to the environment, we ask that remains are buried in a biodegradable container. You can decide the type of container this will be and there is a range of options available at your funeral directors.
Cemetery office staff will be pleased to provide you with further details.
Scattering of ashes
Arrangements can be made to scatter ashes in the Garden of
Remembrance at Fox's Bank Lane Cemetery.
