Cemetery Fees and Charges

Purchasing Graves

It is possible to buy a grave long before it will be used. This can be done by visiting the cemetery office in Clitheroe, where the staff will assist you with any queries which you may wish to discuss. Payment for the grave should be made at this time and grave deeds will then be issued as proof of ownership.
