There is no charge for the burial or cremation of Leeds residents aged 17 or under.
Graves and cremation plots
When you buy a grave, you are buying the rights to bury a body or scatter ashes in that grave. This is called the Exclusive rights of burial, and means that you can give permission for remains or ashes to be buried there.
All rights are granted for a fixed period of time. In Leeds, this is for 50 years.
More fees may apply if the burial or cremation is not for a Leeds resident.
Contact us for more information.
