Exhumations are generally rare and tend to be traumatic for the family involved. They can take a long time to arrange and are usually expensive. For these reasons, it is always best to consult with all the relatives before proceeding.

Torridge District Council wishes to maintain the high standards of all the graves in our care, and need the help of every owner of grave rights to achieve this. This necessitates some restrictions on the service we provide.

There is an increasing demand for green/woodland or eco-burials which Torridge District Council currently makes no provision for although it is being considered for new cemeteries.

One way to remember the life of a friend or loved one after their death is through the arrangement of a long-standing tribute, a reminder that they are not forgotten. A memorial seat or tree has always been a popular choice. You can visit the memorial seats and trees at a loved one's favourite viewpoint, either in a park or some other place where they liked to relax and let time pass by.
