Windsor and Maidenhead cemetery fees
The Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead operates three cemeteries: Windsor Cemetery on St Leonards Road, Maidenhead Cemetery, and Oakley Green Cemetery. Fees are effective from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027 – a new fee year since this page was last checked, and every figure below has increased from the 2025/26 schedule. Resident fees apply where the deceased was a resident of the Royal Borough at the time of death. Non-residents pay approximately double the resident rate.
Burial costs at RBWM cemeteries comprise two separate fees: the interment fee and the Deed of Grant (the exclusive right of burial for 50 years). Both must be paid to arrange a burial.
