      Burial Plots

      Requested Tue 09 July 2019
      Responded Fri 19 July 2019

      I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

      Please could you tell me the following:

      - The current number of burial plots available within the Council sites?

      - How many burial plots you have in total across the councils' sites?

      - When do you estimate you will run out of available burial plots?

      - Are there plans for any new sites?


      Response

      Not all sections have been drawn up yet but we do have the last estimate which was 2012.

      Traditional Graves - 1976

      Lawned Graves - 3207

      Natural Graves - 771

      Cremated Remains Plot - 1834

      We only have the one cemetery but our current burial rate we are using around 70-80 new full earth grave plots so at least 30-40 years of new ground to use.

      We do not have plans in place for a new cemetery as of yet.
