The Cemetery
The cemetery currently only has space for the interment of cremated remains, however, families owning a burial plot may continue to have their family members interred. Advanced purchases are no longer permitted, therefore plots will only be allowed to be purchased when booking an interment at the same time.
Certain adornments are not permitted on memorial stones. These include any form of fencing or edging, wind chimes, and balloons. Glass containers and ornaments are frequently knocked or blown by the wind, which then causes a hazard when the grassed areas is cut around the memorial. Toys, plastic and silk flowers are also not appropriate items to leave on memorials and may cause distress to others visiting the cemetery. Biodegradable wreaths are preferred, and fresh flowers may be placed in a vase inside the Chapel. Handmade or re-usable Christmas wreaths should be used, if necessary.
Any queries regarding the Cemetery can be made via our office on 01344 420079 during office hours or email cemetery@bracknelltowncouncil.gov.uk

Book of Remembrance
A permanent reminder of a loved one is possible by either having an engraved plaque in the chapel or by placing an entry in the Book of Remembrance. This is opened at the day’s date and enables special remembrance to be given to those whose names are inscribed in the book.
Further information on either engraved plaques, the Book of Remembrance or any matter concerning the cemetery may be obtained by contacting us on 01344 420079 or e-mail enquiries@bracknelltowncouncil.gov.uk
Flora and Fauna
Larges Lane Cemetery was created from 2.4 acres of ancient meadowland during the 1880’s. It has remained untouched by fertilisers and other chemicals and consequently has a rich variety of grasses and wildflowers. It is now managed to ensure the protection of these special plants and has gained Wildlife Heritage Status. The cemetery has won several awards under the “Living Churchyards and Cemeteries Scheme”.
