Ceredigion County Council cemetery fees
Ceredigion County Council operates cemeteries across Ceredigion (west Wales). Resident rates apply where the person to be interred is, or immediately before death was, an inhabitant of Ceredigion County – or in the case of a stillborn child, where one of the parents is or was an inhabitant. All other burials attract a 50% surcharge on standard fees (grave digging charges are exempt from the surcharge).
Ceredigion’s fees are unchanged for the 2026/27 year – confirmed against both the council’s live cemetery fees webpage and its official 2026/27 fees and charges schedule.
