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.
