You can inter two ashes urns in an Ashes Garden plot, and four
ashes urns in an Ashes Beam plot.
You can fit up to six plastic urns or two wooden urns.
The full care and maintenance of a memorial or plaque structure
on it, is the property and ongoing responsibility of the interred
person’s family or descendants.
The placements of adornments, planting of shrubs, trees or
creating small gardens or other small structures must not be
anywhere off the concrete burial beam.
Planting of shrubs, trees or creating a small garden area is not
permitted anywhere within the cemetery without the Council’s
approval.
Some cemeteries have gardens where ashes may be scattered
but you need to check with the Council where you can do this.
Animals are not permitted to be interred in the Council’s
cemeteries.
Look up the Cemeteries Smart Map through the Council’s
website, and this shows location and plot details for each of the
Council’s cemeteries.
