Who can buy Rights of Burial?
Only people who live in the London Borough of Lewisham, have lived in the borough for ten consecutive years of their adult life, or the parent, child or spouse of a Lewisham resident can purchase Rights of Burial in the borough’s cemeteries as a resident. Non-residents can purchase Rights of Burial in a Lewisham cemetery, but must pay a non-resident fee, which is four times the fee for a resident.
