Last updated 5 June 2026

Wadebridge cemetery fees

Current burial and cemetery fees for Wadebridge Town Council Cemetery in Cornwall. Fees are effective from 1 April 2026.

Wadebridge Town Council bundles the exclusive right of burial into the plot purchase price – there is no separate ERB charge. Non-parishioners pay double all stated fees. Children aged 18 and under, including stillborn children, are exempt from all cemetery and memorial fees; Wadebridge Town Council reclaims these costs from the Children’s Funeral Fund for England.

A parishioner is someone who is normally resident within Wadebridge or Egloshayle Parish, had been normally resident within those parishes within five years of the date of death, or purchased the exclusive right of burial while resident there.
