  Burials

Woodland graves

There is a woodland burial area at Thornhill Cemetery where graves can be purchased for future use or imminent burials.

The grass in the woodland is only cut a few times a year and is a natural, peaceful area.

There are no headstones in the woodland area, only wood markers which are intended to break down over time and become part of the woodland floor.

Types of graves

Cremated remains graves

Lawn graves

Re-open family graves
