Can I bury cremated remains in the grave?
Yes, if you are the grave owner. However, you must not bury them in the grave yourself without authorisation from the Council – please contact the bereavement services. An interment form must be completed and the grave deed produced, and arrangements will be made for the grave to be prepared for you. If you require further full burials in the same grave in the future, the cremated remains will be buried at the head or foot end of the grave so that they will not be disturbed when the grave is next excavated. An entry will be made in the graves register so that the burial is officially recorded.
