Reserving a grave

You may wish to reserve a grave space in one of the London Borough of Richmond cemeteries. The reservation of any grave space is subject to availability.

The non-refundable fee to reserve a grave space is for a five year period. At the end of that time you can renew the reservation for a further five years.You may only reserve one grave space and it does not issue you with any rights to erect a memorial, place flowers or mark the grave space in any way.

The fee paid for the reservation, however long, is not refundable. The necessary cemetery purchase fees and burial fees are payable when the first burial is required. If there is a specific area of a cemetery in which you would like a grave, the cemetery office will attempt to locate one for you, on request.

You can contact the Cemetery Office to make an appointment for a member of staff to meet with you at your chosen cemetery to show you the options available.
