Purchasing or Reserving a plot can be done at any of Council’s area offices. This can be done either as a pre-purchase or through a funeral director at the time of interment. Applications must be made on a Council approved form only. You may purchase a maximum of two plots at one time.

 

Interment

All applications for interment must be done on the correct Council form. This can be done either through a funeral director or private persons. Applications must be made within a minimum of nine working hours before the burial is to take place. If the burial is to occur on a weekend, Council needs to be informed before 2pm the Thursday prior.

 

Only Council’s contractors prepare the plot for either occupied or unoccupied plots. However, upon application, the family may backfill the plot if they desire.

 

All ashes placed into the ashes wall must be interred in an ashes box. The plaque sealing the wall ashes plot must be ready to attach at the interment.

 

Council reserves the right to request a Proof of Authority when interring into a pre-purchased or already occupied plot.

 

Maximum interments per plot:

Standard single adult full plot: One casket, four sets of ashes

Standard single ashes plot: Two sets of ashes

Standard single children’s plot: One child’s casket, two sets of ashes
