Cemeteries & Churchyards

Cemeteries are regulated by various local authorites, churches and parish councils. Churchyards generally come under the control of the local diocese. All have their own rules regarding size, colour, even style of memorials and documentaion is required in almost all cases and fees may be applicable. We are happy to help with all aspects of the memorial application process.

We work within a number of churchyards and cemeteries governed by different local burial authorities, including (but not limited to):
