Interment Fees for financial year 2024/25
Non-resident surcharge
Cemetery fees are subsidised at 50% for residents within the Wiltshire Council area. As a result, fees for non-residents are double.
- an interment surcharge will apply where the deceased was not resident within the Wiltshire Council area at the time of their death. However, if the individual was resident in the council's area, but not within the twelve months preceding death because specialist care was not available within Wiltshire Council's boundaries, they may be buried in our cemeteries at our resident's charge. This also applies to any resident or former resident of Wiltshire Council who has died during military service. We may request evidence of residential status
- an Exclusive Right of Burial (EROB) surcharge will apply where the new (sole) owner is not a resident of the council area at the time of purchase
- if exclusive rights are to be held by several individuals, and at least one of these is resident within the council's area, the resident's charge will apply
