Likely closure of the Churchyard for future burials

The churchyard at St Michael's will very soon be full, meaning that we will not be able to accept further burials in the churchyard. The Parochial Church Council is discussing the position with senior clergy in the Diocese to decide what steps we need to take. It is likely that these steps will lead to the closure of the churchyard to further burials. This will not affect a second burial in a double depth grave of a family member or the interment of ashes in the grave of a family member. It also does not affect the interment of ashes in the garden of remembrance. The PCC will provide further information when it is available.
