Burials

The Westcott Burial Ground is owned and maintained by Westcott Parish Council. It is divided into the main burial ground next to the church of St. Mary the Virgin, and an area for the interment of cremated remains.

Enquiries

All requests for interments or other enquiries should be directed to the Clerk, who is the officer responsible for the administration of both areas.

The fees for burial are set by and payable to Westcott Parish Council in advance of an interment or memorial works.

The Council reserves the right to amend regulations and fees, and to deal with any circumstances provided for in the regulations as necessary.
