This difference reflects the contribution that parish residents make to the continuous running costs of the cemetery through the
Parish Council precept.
Preparation and placement fees for the cemetery include many separate services provided by the cemetery.
Typically, the fee includes, but is not limited to:
• administration and permanent record keeping (determining ownership, obtaining permission and the completion of other
documentation which may be required, entering the interment particulars in the interment register, maintaining all legal files);
• preparing the interment location to receive the deceased, placement and closing the grave (locating the grave and delineating
the boundaries, excavating and filling the interment space, use of equipment);
• placement and removal of artificial grass dressing and/or matting at the grave site, levelling, tamping, topping up the soil
on the grave site, laying of turf or seeding;
• perpetual maintenance of the site, including levelling and topping up the soil on the grave if the earth settles, grass cutting,
maintenance and planting of the boarders.
