Memorial Applications
All memorial applications must be submitted to Woodstock Town Council for approval.
A minimum of six months is required post interment, however, we would recommend 12 months before any form of memorial is installed on a full grave. This time is needed to let the ground settle after the interment to reduce the risk of the stone becoming unstable on the ground in the future. Memorials on cremated remains plots are permitted straight after the interment due to the smaller plot and size of the plaque.
During the six month settling period, an application can be made by your Stonemason to us, ready for installation after this point. All applications will need to be submitted to us for approval against the cemeteries regulations.
It is solely the owner of the Exclusive Right of Burial (ERB) that can allow any kind of memorial work or adjustments to the grave space. There can be no exceptions to this, as it is a legal procedure and the ERB certificate must be produced when ordering any memorial work.
