Erewash Borough Council cemetery fees
Current burial and cemetery fees for Erewash Borough Council, effective 1 April 2025 to 31 March 2026. The council operates three active cemeteries: Longmoor Cemetery, Park Cemetery in Ilkeston, and Long Eaton Cemetery. Non-residents of the borough pay double all fees, with an exception for former residents who relocated for health or welfare reasons within the preceding 10 years.
Erewash Borough Council is a partner in Bramcote Bereavement Services, which jointly manages crematorium services with Broxtowe Borough Council. The council’s three cemeteries are managed separately by Erewash, with records held at Bramcote Crematorium’s cemeteries central office.
