Bolton council cemetery fees
Current burial and cemetery fees for Bolton Metropolitan Borough Council cemeteries, effective 1 April 2026.
Grave purchase (exclusive right of burial)
| Service | Resident | Non-resident |
|---|---|---|
| New grave plot (ERB) | £1,225 | £1,836 |
| New cremated remains grave (holds 4 sets) | £658 | £658 |
Burial and interment fees
| Service | Resident | Non-resident |
|---|---|---|
| Adult interment (single burial slot) | £902 | £1,632 |
| Adult interment (double burial slot) | £1,017 | £1,632 |
| Adult interment (triple burial slot) | £1,145 | £1,632 |
| Cremated remains interment | £307 | £307 |
Bolton’s non-resident interment fee is a single flat rate of £1,632 regardless of slot type, rather than a percentage on top of each resident tier – so the size of the non-resident premium narrows as the resident tier rises (81% more for a single slot, 60% more for a double, 43% more for a triple). Cremated remains fees carry no non-resident surcharge at all; the £658 grave plot and £307 interment fee are the same for everyone.
Memorial fees
| Service | Fee |
|---|---|
| Memorial permit (headstone) | £140 |
| Vase/tablet permit | £87 |
| Concrete foundations for memorials | £155 |
| Inscription after first | £62 |
