Births, marriages, deaths and nationality Burials on private land

Restrictions

There are several advantages of this form of burial, it allows you to organise a very personal funeral, in which you maintain total control.

You are able to reduce costs significantly by not having to purchase a grave in a cemetery. Some families may make their own coffin and undertake the whole funeral themselves whilst others may use a Funeral Director.
 
It is essential that you obtain permission to complete a burial, where you are not the landowner of the ground involved. You are also advised to notify any individual or mortgage company that has an interest in the property.
 
Access to the grave may be denied or restricted by change of ownership.
