What are the advantages if I purchase a Grave Plot?
The purchase of a grave space gives the purchaser certain rights and privileges. For instance, purchased graves may be dug deep enough to allow for up to three burials. This allows members of the same family to be buried in the same plot at later dates, if they so wish. No purchased grave may be re-opened for another burial without satisfactory proof that the owner, or his or her successor in title, has given consent. The registered owner also has the right to erect and maintain one memorial on the grave. The owner also has the right to transfer the Right of Burial to any relative in which case the Deed of Grant should be sent, with a covering letter, to the Head of Property Services for endorsement, and for the records to be changed.
