Kingswood, Mayshill, Filton and Mangotsfield cemetery fees
Current burial and cemetery fees for South Gloucestershire Council, effective 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027. The council operates four cemeteries: Kingswood Remembrance Park, Mayshill Cemetery, Filton Cemetery, and Mangotsfield Cemetery. Mangotsfield Cemetery is now full for new adult graves – only children’s graves and existing cremation sections/columbarium niches remain available there.
South Gloucestershire has an unusual fee structure: the interment fee is the same for in-district and out-of-district residents – only the ERB purchase price differs. The ERB term is 60 years.
Infants (stillborn and children up to 1 year) are buried at no charge, with the Ministry of Justice Child Burial Fund covering costs. Children aged 1 to 5 years are also buried at no charge.
Grave purchase (exclusive right of burial)
The Exclusive Right of Burial is granted for 60 years.
