Burial

Cemeteries

We look after seven cemeteries in Wolverhampton.  Follow the link to find out more about cemeteries in Wolverhampton.

Graves

Buying and reserving a grave

The Exclusive Right of Burial for a grave can be purchased either before an imminent funeral or in reservation for future use. In both cases the Exclusive Right of Burial is granted for 75 years.

Purchasing a grave before an imminent funeral

This will be dealt with by the person arranging the funeral - which in most cases will be the funeral director.

Full graves are currently available at Beacon Hill, Hall Green and Danescourt cemeteries.

Burials take place at all our cemeteries between 9am and 3pm, Monday to Friday.

Reserving a plot for future use

It is currently possible to reserve a full grave at either Beacon Hill or Danescourt cemetery. 

If you wish to purchase the Exclusive Right of Burial to a grave, use our online e-form (secure). Alternatively, contact us at the Bereavement Centre.

Memorials

Information about memorials is available elsewhere.

Burial records

The burial records and registers for our cemeteries are held at the Bereavement Centre at the Civic Centre.

A microfilm copy of the registers is available for public viewing at from Archives and Local Studies.
