Births, marriages, deaths and nationality Graves

Capacity of a grave

A private grave will normally hold four adult interments, but no guarantees can be made as ground conditions vary from time to time and from place to place, which affects grave capacity. We do our utmost to dig the graves at maximum depth.

  • In a dedicated cremation plot, designed solely for cremated remains, six caskets can be interred. 
  • In a burial plot, it depends on how many coffins have previously been buried in the grave.

Please contact the cemetery offices for further advice on grave capacity.
