At the time of writing this policy there is no shortage of grave spaces in St Mary’s church yard.

 

Before considering your application to reserve a grave space we would ask you to answer the following questions:

 

  • Do you live in the Parish of Haynes?
  • Have you ever lived in the Parish of Haynes?
  • Do you have family who live in the Parish of Haynes?
  • Do you have any other connections with Haynes?
  • If you have no connection with Haynes but have a family grave in the church yard please give details.
  • If you have answered ‘No’ to all of the above please give your reasons for wanting to reserve a grave space.
  • Please state if you are under 50 years of age.
  • If you are given a reserved space there will be an annual fee of payable to Haynes PCC for the upkeep of the space – cutting the grass and ensuring the grave marker is kept in place. There will also be a fee payable to the diocese. You will be given details of the current fees

 

Your application will go before the next Parochial Church Council meeting for the consideration by the PCC members. You will be notified in writing of their decision.
