Where may cremated remains be buried?
The place for the burial of cremated remains may be: • in the existing grave of a close relative, and if none • in an area specifically set aside by faculty for the purpose (sometimes described as a “garden of remembrance”), and if none • in an otherwise unused area of the churchyard not considered large enough for burial of a body. It is for the minister with responsibility for the churchyard to direct where the cremated remains of a particular person may be buried. The place of burial of cremated remains should be recorded in the Register of Burials.
