Cemetery
Egloshayle Cemetery, Egloshayle Road, Wadebridge
In 1999 the Town Council purchased land at Egloshayle Road for the purpose of extending the cemetery.
The extension to the cemetery and new memorial garden was completed by 2001. Trevarner Field has been purchased for further extension, which has been handed over for allotments until it is required.
More information coming soon.
Burial fees are reviewed by the town council annually with amended fees being applied from 1 April each year. Please see the link below for the current fees.
Burial forms (Notice of Burial) will be provided to families by the Funeral Director arranging the funeral – this applies to both full burials and burial of ashes. If you wish to bury ashes without using a Funeral Director then please contact the Town Clerk’s office to discuss arrangements for this.
Stonemasons will provide the Town Council’s application form for anyone wishing to place a memorial (headstone or cremation tablet) on a grave or memorial plot. An application is also required for additional inscriptions to existing memorials. Please note that only the persons(s) named on the Exclusive Right of Burial (ERB) will be able to make a memorial application. Please refer to the Exclusive Right of Burial page for an explanation on ERBs.
It is usual practice for Funeral Directors and Stonemasons to include any Town Council fee within their own invoice – they will forward the fee directly to the Town Council.

When a grave is purchased an Exclusive Right of Burial (ERB) is issued to the person(s) buying the grave or memorial plot. The ERB is included within the cost of the grave and is the legal ownership record for the grave or memorial plot.
Only the person(s) named on the ERB will be able to apply for a memorial to be erected on a grave or memorial plot (headstone or cremation tablet).
The document below provides an explanation of why an ERB is required and sets out the process of when and how it should be transferred moving forwards.
