Graves
Grave options in our Manchester cemeteries
Our cemeteries all have options for new graves, existing graves and public graves. You can also pre-purchase a grave.
We present the options as costed packages: these are priced according to whether the grave-owner and/or the deceased is/was a Manchester resident. You can choose whether or not to include a service in the Chapel. See our additional information about buying a grave.
