Do I need to book a burial of ashes into a grave at a Derby cemetery?

An appointment is required to bury ashes into a family grave or cremation plot. The owner of the grave (deed holder) must give permission.

To make an appointment please contact the Bereavement Office, email bereavement@derby.gov.uk or telephone 01332 640050.

Who do I speak to about grass cutting or overgrown bushes and trees at a cemetery?

To contact the Grounds Maintenance department please email Grounds@derby.gov.uk.
