Districtwide cemetery charges


Council's fees for 2025/26 have been confirmed. [PDF 722 KB]

These come into effect on 1 July 2025

Council has an arrangement with certain funeral homes providing services within our district to collect fees detailed in these cemetery charges on behalf of the Council. In return, the funeral homes keep 15 percent of any total fee to cover their administration costs associated with collecting these fees.

Cemetery charges will be reviewed regularly to ensure that they are consistent with the Council’s revenue and financing policy.
