Death certification new regulations

New regulations to reform death certification in England and Wales came into force on 9 September 2024.

Under the reforms, all deaths will legally become subject to either a medical examiner’s scrutiny or a coroner’s investigation.

Grave Reservations

Due to an increase demand for grave reservations we have regrettably had to remove the option to apply for a grave reserve as a temporary measure, so we can begin the process of installing new beams.

We are now able to offer reserves for cremated remains plots at each of our cemeteries from 1 June 2024.

Unfortunately, we are unable to extend this to full graves at the present time.

Updates will be made available on this page.
