Churchyards and Memorials
7 of our Churches have Churchyards that are open (Frankton recently was declared closed for the burial of bodies, but cremated remains can still be interred). That means that anyone with a connection to the parish can be buried in the Church yard and appropriate memorials can be placed to remember people who we have lost.
​
Whilst we make every effort to accommodate the requests that we receive for memorials we are bound by law to follow the Churchyard Regulations that are set out by the Chancellor of the Diocese. You can read the regulations here or alternatively discuss with the Rector
Once you have decided what memorial you would like and are confident that it meets the regulations the speediest way to proceed is to approach a stone mason to agree the design and ask them to submit this form to the Rector - if he is able to approve the memorial then he will simply sign the form and the stone mason can begin work to produce and install the memorial.
