Churchyards are an important and visible representation of a church’s mission in its community. Burials, monuments and exhumations are governed by law and the Consistory Court.
Guidance is available below to incumbents and PCCs on the rules and practices. For further information please contact the Diocesan Registry on 01905 730731 or the DAC on 01905 732809.
