Cemetery and BurialsCemetery
Stockbridge "new" cemetery can be found at Winton Hill, Stockbridge on the B 3049 to Winchester. The cemetery is in a peaceful, rural location, surrounded by trees and fields and can be visited at any time.
Reserving a Burial Plot
Exclusive rights to burial plots may be purchased by contacting:
Mrs Michaela Nadal of Stockbridge Parish Council
tel: 01264 810567
There is a list of current charges below.
When someone dies
When a relative dies and has expressed a wish to be buried in Stockbridge Cemetery, the undertaker you have chosen will contact either:
Mrs. Michaela Nadal,
The Rector Canon Graham Trasler,
or
the Parish Clerk, Mr Kenrick Fell
If a plot has been reserved, the form confirming this will usually be held by the deceased person's solicitor or with their will and the undertaker should be informed. If no plot has been reserved a plot will be allocated and the undertaker will be informed of the charges for burial. Burial charges (see below) apply even if a plot has been reserved and also apply to the interment of ashes.
All details relating to the burial will be dealt with by the undertaker.
Memorials
Although you don't have to erect a headstone or other memorial, some relatives may well choose to have a permanent memorial to a loved one. No memorial may be erected for at least 6 - 9 months after burial, to ensure the soil around the grave has settled. The burial plot will be rolled to ensure the ground is flat and more easily maintained in the future by the grounds man. Relatives of the deceased should contact a memorial mason at the appropriate time to discuss their wishes. The mason will then deal directly with Stockbridge Parish Council to ensure limits of size etc are adhered to. Additional wording may also be included at a later date. Current charges for memorials are listed below. Relatives of the deceased remain responsible for the maintenance of memorials and the Parish Council will also try to let them know if repair work is needed.
Charges
The scale of charges for all aspects of burial and memorials will depend on whether the deceased person was a parishioner of Stockbridge or not. Although the Parish Council may well use their discretion if, for example, the deceased person only recently left Stockbridge to go into a nursing home or similar
