All enquiries regarding our cemeteries and crematorium should be directed to the Bereavement Services Office.

We have plans of the cemeteries and a list of current fees and charges available in the office for you to look at during office hours.

We are required by law to keep grave and burial registers. Entries are made for every burial detailing the grave, the depth of grave, the date of burial and the name and age of the person buried.

Registers of all burials are kept in the Bereavement Services Office and may be inspected free of charge during office hours.

A charge may be levied if you wish staff to make searches in burial and grave registers. We will issue receipts for any money paid to us.
