Deaths, Funerals & Cremations
Burials & Graves
The interment of a loved one is extremely emotional occasion and it is important that your individual needs are met. For this reason, a member of staff by appointment, will be pleased to meet you before any interment takes place, to ensure that the cemetery and section chosen is to your satisfaction.
Cremation
The cremation of a human body is a highly emotional occasion for those taking part in the service. This must never be forgotten by the officials of the crematorium, who must combine to create and maintain an atmosphere of reverence and respect throughout the entire proceedings.
Registering a Death
You should register the death in the registration district in which the death happened. If it is not convenient for you to visit the register office for the district, you can go to any other register office in England or Wales to make a “Declaration of the Particulars”.
Genealogy Research Service
Bereavement Services now offer a genealogy research service to locate a person that is buried within one of the boroughs cemeteries. The online facility provides both the burial location and grave number.
