New Grave Burials

Existing Family Graves
Some families may wish to use an existing family grave for a further burial, subject to grave ownership, cemetery records and approval.
Graveside Services
A dignified service at the graveside with a minister, celebrant, family speaker, prayer, poem or quiet reflection.

Croft Parish Council states that before any burial may take place in a grave, an Exclusive Right of Burial must be purchased from the Council. Where an existing family grave is involved, ownership and written permission may need to be checked before arrangements are confirmed.

Croft Cemetery information
About Croft Cemetery
Croft Cemetery is managed by Croft Parish Council. The Parish Council describes the cemetery as a public, non-denominational burial ground, although individual graves may be consecrated under the rites of the particular faith or denomination of the person interred.
Before any burial may take place, an Exclusive Right of Burial must be purchased from the Council, and an interment fee is also payable. Cemetery fees, grave permissions, interment forms, grave ownership records and memorial rules are controlled by the cemetery authority, not the funeral director.
Ashes scattering at Croft Cemetery requires approval from Croft Parish Council in advance, along with payment of the appropriate fee.
Cemetery rules, fees, forms and availability can change, so current requirements should always be checked before confirming arrangements.
What we can help you think through
- Whether burial or cremation feels right for your family
- Whether the funeral should be traditional or simple
- Whether a graveside service would be suitable
- Whether an existing family grave may need checking
- Whether a cremation plot or ashes scattering may be appropriate
- What personal touches can be included on the day
Ashes scattering and interment at Croft Cemetery
Ashes Options in Croft
Although this page is mainly focused on burial funerals, many families also ask us about cremated remains, cremation plots and ashes scattering at Croft Cemetery.
This may be after a cremation has recently taken place, or when ashes have been kept at home for some time. A fixed place of remembrance can be very helpful for families who want somewhere local to visit.
The original funeral does not need to have been arranged by Bay Tree Funerals. If you already have ashes at home, we can still help explain the next steps.
Ashes options may include:
- Interment of ashes in a family grave where permitted
- Use of a cremation plot where available
- Scattering of ashes with prior council permission
- A short graveside or cemetery service
- Advice on memorials, plaques or inscriptions
