Ashes plot fees

Single Ash Plot £400
Single Ash Plot with side by side Reservation for future use £600
Double Ash Plot (2 sets of ashes going in same day) £600

We do take Ash Reservation requests.

Barton is fully consecrated ground so ashes may not be scattered; they must be buried. The fee carries full entitlement to a reserved space for cremated remains, and the fee includes the cost of ground preparation.

If you wish to bury ashes, please contact the office to arrange a suitable date. You will then be asked to fill in the Ash section of the Burial Form obtained above. You will need to pay on line using the surname of the deceased as reference. We will also need a copy of the Cremation Certificate. Once this is done you can come to the burial ground by arrangement to look at the ash grave locations so that you can give your preference.

Once this is done, on the day you will come along and you will find a blue board over the grave, you remove the board and place the ashes. If you wish us to fill in afterwards, let us know and place the blue board back over the grave. We do however, let families, if they wish fill in afterwards and so if this is something you wish to do as a family, again let us know and bring a trowel on the day. You can mark the grave with a wooden plaque. Details are on this website.
