CURRENT ADVICE CONCERNING FUNERALS AND COVID_19

In Wales, the number of attendees is limited by the capacity of the venue to follow social distancing etc, although attendance at an outdoor funeral is capped at 30. Attendees should be invited to the funeral by the organiser and shouldn’t just turn up if they haven’t been invited. Interments of ashes are considered as part of the burial, so up to 30 people can attend. Venues must follow the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No.2) (Wales) Regulations 2020 and should also follow the Guidance on the Impact of the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) (No. 2) (Wales) Regulations 2020 on Funerals. This specifies that cemeteries and crematoria, funeral directors, and hospitality businesses or community centres which may be used to hold ‘wakes’ all fall within the definition of open premises. The regulation requires those responsible for premises to take reasonable measures which must be taken by all workplaces and premises open to the public to minimise the risk of exposure to coronavirus.  ​

A SET OF KEYS HAS BEEN FOUND AT GRESFORD CEMETERY. TO FIND OUT MORE , PLEASE CONTACT THE CEMETERY ASSISTANT ON 07554397995 OR VIA EMAIL cemeterygresford@gmail.com. PLEASE  DESCRIBE THE RING AND THE NUMBER OF KEYS

A wall of remembrance is now installed inside the shelter at Gresford Cemetery. Families can purchase a small black granite plaque in memory of a loved one which will then be placed on the wall.

GRESFORD CEMETERY

Gresford Cemetery is an attractive burial ground situated in a secluded corner of the village of Gresford.  Opened in 1917 the first burial took place on the 20th March 1917.  It has 1534 burial plots and 153 cremated remains plots. The cemetery consists of traditional lawned grave plots with some older graves having kerbstones.  Mature trees provide shade and contrast and seating is available for visitors to spend time in the cemetery if they wish.  It is open to the public all day every day.  The cemetery grounds are accessible to vehicles but drivers are encouraged to close the gates upon leaving. 

The small building at the entrance known as the “shelter” was renovated in 2018.  It is opened to the public on funeral days and most Bank Holidays. At the end of 2012 the pathways were repaired which greatly enhanced visitors’ safety and the appearance of the site. 
A Cemetery Committee operates to plan for future improvements and expenditure for the cemetery. 
The fees and charges for Gresford Cemetery are provided for reference.
