Buy or transfer a grave plot
You cannot buy a grave itself, only the right to use it for 50 years.
You can renew your ownership for 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 years.
The cost of a grave plot depends on various factors, for example, the type of plot and the depth of the grave.

If the grave owner dies
If the grave owner dies, you need to transfer ownership of the grave to a living owner if you want to:
- arrange further burials in the grave
- erect a new memorial
- carry out any additional work on the grave
It costs £108 to transfer ownership.
Contact cemetery services to arrange a grave plot transfer.
