Purchasing a grave
When purchasing a grave, you are buying the exclusive right of burial. This means that we are granting you the right to decide who will be buried in a particular grave, the ownership of the land and the responsibility for its management remains with us.
A deed granting the exclusive right of burial for 100 years (subject to conditions) will be sent to the grave owner. This deed must be produced whenever the grave is to be opened for an interment.
When the grave has to be re-opened for an interment, the deed must be handed to your Funeral Director, who will then make all the necessary arrangements with us. We will return the deed to the grave owner following the funeral.
If you wish to purchase a grave please email contact@chorley.gov.uk or phone us on 01257 515494.
The Cemeteries Policy contains the rules and regulations Chorley Council has in place to manage its cemeteries and memorials which may be placed in its cemeteries. Please read the policy before purchasing a grave to ensure you understand these rules and regulations.
