About the cemetery

Opened in 1984, the cemetery has an extensive woodland area containing an ancient decoy pool. The grounds consist of:

  • lawn graves 
  • children’s graves
  • cremated remains graves 
  • remembrance gardens for the scattering of cremated remains

In 2000, the cemetery chapel was modified and extended to make provision for the crematorium. The style and architecture was carefully planned to match the existing building and is sympathetic to its rural location. The chapel can accommodate up to 60 people seated and 60 people standing.
