Vehicles

Car parking is available at some of our cemeteries and where vehicular access is possible we allow driving into the grounds for people with mobility issues provided speed limits are observed.   In all instances, cars must only use the cemetery roads, NOT pedestrian paths and other narrow walkways.

Care should also be is taken avoid obstructing access for other users, especially funeral cortèges, and to maintain the appearance, dignity and respect of our grounds we would also ask drivers to not drive or park on or very close to graves or memorials.

For safety purposes the speed limit within all cemeteries is 10mph.

Dogs are welcome in the cemeteries as long as they are kept on a lead and not allowed to go onto memorials or graves. Dog fouling laws apply, so please clean up after your dog and take it home or place it in one of our bins.
