Please note that grave digging charges are separate and can be payable directly to the grave digger. For full burials this is normally organised and invoiced by the funeral director if one has been used. If a funeral director is not being used, the costing and invoicing would be payable directly to the gravedigger and a quotation can be given. For an ashes interment that is organised with ourselves they would charge approximately (dig and fill) - £85

There is no charge for stillborn or infants burials 12 months or under.

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

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

We are unable to offer double depth plots as the land at Westmill is not appropriate for this.

We do not wish the cost of the burial rights to exclude anyone and operate a sliding scale of charges in cases of financial hardship.

Memorial Gatherings

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

£25 if none of the above are needed and only need use of the site.

Please be aware that we cannot accept any bookings for funerals on any Bank holidays or Easter Sunday.

Family Group Pre-bookings

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.

If any pre-booking is cancelled we will levy a fee of £200 to cover administration costs.

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.
