Deaths, funerals and cremations
Penmount memorial grounds have now re-opened but the crematorium buildings are only open to people attending funeral services.
The Books of Remembrance can be viewed in the windows at the front of the main crematorium building. As usual the pages displayed will be the current days date and no others.
The Columbarium is now accessible. Please follow directions as posted and socially distance.
Floral tributes can be left on the Flower Terrace or in the memorial grounds.

It's important to register a death as soon as possible.
It is a statutory requirement that a death which has not been referred to the Coroner is registered within five days of the date of death.
When you are bereaved, this may feel like a daunting task. These pages will help make it easier for you, as they give all the information you'll need about who can register a death and how to go about it, including the documentation needed.
Information on what to do after someone dies can be found on the .gov website.
