All the District's cemeteries are well maintained and three of the sites have ample room for expansion. All plots may be reserved for future use, with the exception of the Returned Services Sections. A minimum fee is required for the benefit of pre-selecting a plot, with the full sexton fee to be paid at time of the first interment.
Traditional burial plots are available adjacent to permanent concrete berms, which have been provided for the placement of plaques or headstones. There is space on the berms for floral and other tributes to be placed.
Ash plots provide a permanent resting place for cremated remains, whether the concrete berms are in traditional rows, or surrounding attractively planted gardens. There is a space on the berms for plaques and floral tributes.
