Every application must be made in writing on the form CR1 obtainable from us which we complete on your behalf and send to the incumbent priest in charge or, during a vacancy in the benefice, the Rural Dean.
No permission for the erection of a headstone may be granted until a period of six months has elapsed after the date of burial or interment of ashes.
If a memorial is required that has specifications outside the current churchyard rules & regulations it may be allowed with a Petition for Faculty, although there are certain limitations even with a faculty.
For further information & advice, including details of fees and the necessary application forms, we recommend you contact us by phone or call in to our office where our staff would be happy to help you.
