  Torridge District Council manage and maintain cemeteries at several locations throughout the district

• Exhumations

  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.

• Graves Maintenance and Access

  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.

• Green Burials

  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.

• Organising a Funeral

  Most Funerals are organised by professional firms of Funeral Directors although some people prefer to organise funerals themselves

• Local Authority Funerals

  In certain limited circumstances, the Council has a responsibility to arrange the funeral of a deceased person.
