All applications for interments must be submitted on the prescribed form to the Council at least 3 working days prior to the interment. Should the current owner of the EROB not be registered with the Council, the time will need to be allowed to effect this transfer and the Deed endorsed, before interment can take place.

The application for interment must contain full details of the deceased, the proposed interment, the grave to be used and the signatures of all the owners of the EROB, unless the deceased is the sole owner.

The person(s) arranging the interment shall be responsible for the attendance of a Minister of Religion, if appropriate, to officiate at the burial service and for payment of any fee to which the Minister is entitled.

Any form of service may be used subject to the approval of the Council. Alternatively, the coffin may be committed without service.

A certificate for disposal issued by the Registrar of Births and Deaths or a Coroners Order for Burial or a duplicate copy thereof, must accompany the interment application. In the case of interment of cremated remains a certificate for burial purposes issued by the Cremation Authority will be required.

Every body brought into the cemetery for interment shall be contained in a suitable coffin unless an un-coffined burial has been authorised. No coffin shall be accepted unless it bears adequate particulars of the identity of the deceased person therein. A coffin may only contain one body except in the case of a mother and her baby (babies).

All graves will be prepared by contractors engaged by the Council and in accordance with Health and Safety guidelines.

In the case of the re-opening of a grave the written consent of all the living owners of the EROB will be required. Where a sole owner is already deceased, the Council will require a transfer of EROB to be arranged before interment can take place. No consent is required for the interment of the sole owner of the EROB.

The Council may exclude from the Cemetery on the occasion of a funeral any person or persons not being mourners or officially connected with the funeral.
