Right of Burial
Extending the Grant of Exclusive Right of Burial
If you are aware that your deed has reached the term of 75 years, you can apply to extend the lease to 100 years.
Application for this extension should be made in writing to the Cemetery Office. You should include your original Deed and a new one will be issued.
There is a cost for the lease extension (by 25 years), currently the third of a cost of a new plot.
For further clarification please contact the Cemetery Office.
