Burial of ashes at Welford Road
You may remember the family grave but have no papers for it. A name and approximate burial year are enough to start an enquiry about bringing ashes here. I’ll check space and who holds the burial rights. If you need a new ashes plot, we can look at Gilroes or Saffron Hill.
How much would it cost?
If you’d like to know the cost of an interment of ashes, give me a call. I’ll check the cemetery fees and explain any charge for our help. You can ring even if someone else arranged the cremation.
