Cemetery Information

What to do in the event of a death

These are general guidelines. Seek professional advice for specific situations.

Section J - A Lawn Cemetery

Section J has been designated as a lawn cemetery since May 2014. This means that only standardised headstones are permitted to mark the graves. You may choose to have a full kerb or none.

It's important to note that BW Foundation retains control over the layout and appearance of Section J, as well as the graves within it. By seeking a right of burial within Section J, you agree that BW Foundation may maintain the section as it sees fit and in compliance with the Council’s Rules.

Any items left within or erected upon the land within Section J without authorization, including memorials, borders, or plantings, will be removed without notice.

The standardised headstone, featuring a motif and ayat, will be engraved with the name and dates of birth and death of the deceased. Families may add their own inscription on two lines.
