Buying a burial plot isn’t a difficult process, but there’re some things you need to be aware of. When someone dies, you can buy a burial plot in a cemetery or natural burial ground, but you may not own the land forever. If there's a grave already in existence that you'd like to use, perhaps part of a family plot, then we can arrange to use that. W...
To buy a burial plot in a church yard, cemetery or natural burial ground, you’ll need to contact the owner of the land to check availability and cost. In the UK, this will either be owned by a local authority or a church. There are also some privately owned burial grounds, including woodland burial grounds. At Co-op Funeralcare, our funeral directo...
It’s important to know that when you buy a burial plot, you’re not buying the ownership of the land forever. Local authorities will sell the lease on a plot of land, so you’re buying the right to bury someone there for a certain amount of time. The lease, or deed, that you are purchasing is known as the Exclusive Right of Burial. Exclusive Right of...
Like a lease on a house, most burial plots in the UK are sold for a set amount of time. These leases typically last for between 25 and 100 years. Before the lease expires, the owner will be contacted by the land owner to see if they wish to renew. If not, the headstone may be removed for collection by the owner.
If a lease isn't renewed, the council may resell the remaining space in the plot. However, existing burials will not be removed or disturbed.
Unfortunately, there's a shortage of space for burial plots in the UK. It’s often recommended to buy a burial plot in advance, particularly if family members wish to be buried together. If the cemetery of choice is full, your funeral director will be able to look at alternative options for you. You might want to look into using burial plots of othe...
It’s possible to have family members buried in the same plot as each other. When you buy the Exclusive Right to Burial, you’ve the right to choose who's buried in that plot. The registered owner of a burial plot can also assign the rights to another family member for joint ownership.
Due to the shortage of space, burial plots can be expensive. The cost of a burial plot will depend on the location and the type of burial plot you want. Non-residents often pay higher fees for a grave than residents of the local council. Burial plots for children and cremated remains are a lot cheaper than standard plots. Single burial plots are ch...
Contact your local council for a list of burial plots in your area, either in cemeteries or natural burial grounds. If it’s a loved one who has died and you’re not local, our funeral directors can help you to make all the necessary arrangements.
The cost of an ashes burial (or interment) plot varies depending on where they’re to be buried. However, as these plots are much smaller, they usually cost less than a burial plot for a person.
