When submitting an application to reserve a grave space to the Registry, the following will be required: Generally the Chancellor is not keen to grant a reservation where there is less than 10 years of available space in the churchyard. The PCC is under no obligation to support a proposed reservation, and may wish to be cautious about support for reservations when space is very limited. The PCC will want to consider the rate at which the churchyard is filling up, and how many spaces remain available and therefore whether it is appropriate to set aside a space or spaces for the proposed application. Anyone wishing to reserve a space in a churchyard should first discuss the proposed reservation with the Incumbent and/or one of the Churchwardens to see whether space is available and if they would agree to a reservation being made. However, where this means that a considered judgement is needed, an additional fee may be incurred.Īn application for a space to be reserved will need to be supported by the Incumbent, Churchwarden(s) and a Resolution in favour of the reservation made by the Parochial Church Council (PCC).

Where limited space in the churchyard means that a reservation is granted for a period of less than 30 years, it is possible for applicants to offer reasons to explain why their particular circumstances might justify a grant of a reservation for the full 30 years. So if there is only room for five years’ worth of burials, any reservation is likely to be limited to just five years, unless there are exceptional circumstances justifying a departure from this policy. However, where there is space in the churchyard for less than 30 years’ worth of anticipated burials, any faculty for a grave space reservation is likely to be limited to a shorter period, to match the expected capacity of the churchyard.

This is to avoid blocking spaces in churchyards for unduly long periods of time. Unless there are exceptional circumstances, a reservation will not normally be granted to anyone who is under 50 years of age, and the reservation will normally last for a maximum of 30 years. The current fee for 2022 is £311.20 and is reviewed annually in line with the Ecclesiastical Judges, Legal Officers and Others (Fees) Order issued by the government in January each year. A faculty fee is payable with the application. The Registry will also provide some explanatory notes to accompany the Petition Form. A “Faculty” is required for a reservation, and application for this would be made on a Faculty Petition Form, available from the Diocesan Registry. Reservations are normally for a single or double plot. It is possible to apply to reserve a grave space in a Churchyard.
