After the burial service

Unless otherwise requested, the cemetery staff will fill in the grave. They will place any floral tributes on top and will leave the area neat and tidy. Graves are always filled in on the day the burial takes place.

On a traditional grave, you may wish to hire a temporary grave surround. You can download the temporary grave surround application form(pdf, 50KB), complete it and send it to the cemetery office.

As previously mentioned, this information is only a guideline. We recognise everyone is an individual, and we will help you to make the funeral you are arranging as personal and individual as you wish.
