Burial or Cremation

There are 3 Crematoria in our locality, so wherever you are based you should not have too far to travel. Each Crematorium is a slightly different style, so you may find it helpful either to look at their websites, or even to pay them a visit, in order to decide which is best suited to your particular needs.

Cemeteries

There are several Cemeteries and Churchyards in this area. Not all have space for burials if a new grave is required, although most of those which are full for new burials do still have space for the interment of ashes following a cremation. If you would like to use a particular churchyard or cemetery, then that may be a factor you would want to bear in mind when choosing between a burial or cremation.

The Dissenters’ Cemetery situated on Vallis Road, Frome was founded in 1851. The cemetery has over 6,200 documented burials. This cemetery is a Private Trust, founded in 1851 by the Protestant Dissenting Congregations of Frome. The cemetery includes a dozen Commonwealth War Graves.

Green and Woodland Burials

An alternative option to a traditional burial which has become increasingly popular in recent years, is to have a Green or Woodland Burial. Burials must take place in coffins or shrouds made of sustainable biodegradable materials such as natural wood, woven materials (bamboo, willow, seagrass, wool) and cardboard. 

The Natural Burial Woodland is situated at the top of Arnos Vale cemetery adjacent to Arnos Park in Bristol.
