Latest news and information from the Parish Council
The Cemetery
New Buckenham Cemetery currently has a very limited number of plots available, a situation which is being faced by a number of other councils.
As a Parish Council, we wish to ensure that current and past residents of New Buckenham are able to choose New Buckenham as their final resting place. For this reason, your Parish Council is preparing to apply to the Norwich Diocese to reuse plots in the graveyard which were used more than 85 years ago and which currently have no evidence of “tending” taking place and no evidence of headstones or grave markings. These plots are immediately on the right as you enter the Cemetery from Moat Lane.
The Clerk has the names and burial dates of all graves that are to be proposed for reuse.
Should you wish to express your views or require any further information, please contact your Parish Clerk by email at parishclerk@newbuckenham.net / 01953887830
