Disused Burial Grounds


Many of our Churches have a burial ground either adjacent to or detached from the Church. When there is no more space within the Burial Ground  it is usual to close it. In time such Burial Grounds become disused. Special rules then apply to the Burial Ground. These are contained within the Disused Burial Grounds Act.


A Summary of the principle requirements are to be found in
