* The "Contribution to upkeep" fee is a one-off payment per committal/plaque/action (i.e. if committal and plaque are separate occasions, only one fee is parable). The money is used to help towards the upkeep of the Garden & graveyard.   It applies to all activity (burials, monuments, vases, amendments, etc) within the Churchyard or Garden of Remembrance since May 2021.

** Heating in church is applied for all funerals between 1 October and 30 April.  


If a funeral takes place inside the ULEZ an additional fee of £12.50 will be added to the invoice should the Vicar or Lay Minister not have access to a compliant vehicle.


For all other fees, please contact the Church Office and leave a message 07831027544.


Please note that our churchyard is full except for a few ‘single’ depth graves. We can, in certain circumstances, accept re-opens.
