Guidance on arranging a burial via a funeral director and options for full body burials and cremated remains in new or existing graves or plots.

Burial and interment costs at Liverpool cemeteries include the exclusive right of burial for 75 years.

If you wish to erect a headstone following a burial, you can arrange this through a memorial mason if you are the grave owner or the last applicant for interment.

A memorial bench is an ideal option to sit and reflect on memories of a loved one. These can be sited throughout the cemeteries or the crematoria grounds depending on the location and space available.

Chapels at Springwood are available for services without a cremation - for example, prior to a burial, memorial service or scattering of ashes.

To operate as a memorial mason in Liverpool cemeteries, you must be a member of our Memorial Masons Charter.

If you are a member of the council's Memorial Masons Charter you can apply to erect a grave headstone and carry out other permitted works in Liverpool cemeteries.
