Burial services

These are old graves that have not been used for at least 75 years and in which further burial space exists. Some were covered by derelict memorials, which have been removed. They are available in Mitcham Road Cemetery and Queen's Road Cemetery.

Graves can be selected for a new 50 year period for one or two burials. None of the previous deeper burials will be disturbed. The right to place a memorial varies from 20 to 50 years depending on the safety of the chosen design. Temporary edgings or surrounds can be placed prior to the purchase of a memorial.

These graves are ideal for those who want greater choice over memorial design. For example, a memorial kerb surround prevents people walking over the grave, and enables the grave purchaser to create a garden area if they want to.
