Before you visit

A few things that help us keep our grounds calm and respectful for everyone.

Dogs

Dogs are not permitted in or around the cemetery and crematorium gardens, except assistance dogs (or by arrangement with the manager in special circumstances).

Children

Children under 16 are welcome when with a responsible adult, or walking to school, but we ask that they are not left unaccompanied in the grounds.

Photography

Please ask before taking photographs or filming within the sites, out of respect for other families.
