Please do not hesitate to contact us regarding the costs if you are facing financial hardship.

Gravedigging

Please note that grave digging charges vary depending on how a funeral is being organised.

If no funeral director is involved payment will be made directly to the gravedigger as they are an independent business.

Ashes: £90 (dig and fill) £45 (dig only)

Burial: from £600+

Children under the age of 18

For Children under the age of 18, the government can cover the costs needed for a burial or cremation. Please follow the link below to the Gov Uk website to find out more about the process. https://www.gov.uk/child-funeral-costs

Extra Hours

If a funeral goes over 2 hours then we will add additional costs from £50 per hour depending on the number of staff that will need to remain on site.

Please be aware that we cannot accept any bookings for funerals on any weekends, Bank holidays, Easter Sunday or between Christmas and New Year.

Marquees

Please note: If you are bringing an outside company onsite to put up a marquee we will add an extra charge of £100.

Forms

In order to book a funeral with us we kindly ask that the person taking responsibility for the arrangements completes and signs the two forms below. If you are using a funeral director they will be able to help you with this.

Memorial Tablets

Memorial Tablets are currently £150 per tablet and engraving and design is completed by an independent provider and costed and invoiced separately. Further information and the order form is listed on the link below.

Memorial Tablet Order Form and Information

Memorial Gatherings

(not held at the time of a funeral/interment)

£100 including a helper on site to organise and set up. Use of our chairs, tables, speaker system and microphone.

Family Group Pre-bookings

Please be aware that any pre-reservation cancellations after the 14 day cooling off period, are subject to a £200 Admin Fee which is deductible at the time of refund.

We can accept pre-bookings for those who already have a spouse or partner at Westmill and are over the age of 65 as well for those who have been told they have a life limiting illness if they wish to have peace of mind for their final resting place.

If you are arranging a funeral for a relative or friend at Westmill and you would like to book a plot adjacent to them for yourself or another family member we will be happy to do this. Please let us know at the time of arranging the funeral so we can allocate the appropriate plots.

A pre-booking for a burial plot would be £525 (right of burial only, interment fee due at time of burial) and a pre-booking for an ashes plot would be £262.50 (right of burial only, interment fee due at time of burial)

In addition to the Right of Burial fee taken at the time of pre-booking an Interment Fee will be due at the time the funeral takes place.

Other additional costs that will be due at the time will include the grave digging which is carried out by an independent gravedigger and any costs associated with a funeral director.

We do not take ad hoc pre-bookings because we do not want to hold a lot of money that does not strictly belong to us in uncertain financial times.

Please note we do not offer the scattering of ashes at Westmill as this is not good for the land.

Payments

A funeral director will be happy to help you organise payments for all the elements of a funeral but if you are wanting to pay us directly for any reason or you are not using a funeral director then please do so via bank transfer using either our invoice number (if it has been sent directly to you) and/or your friend or family member's Surname. Our details are as follows:

Account number - 65640298
Sort Code - 08 92 99

However if you wish to pay by cheque then please make payable to Westmill Woodland Burial Ground CIC.
