The expansion of North Watford Cemetery, as well as the support provided by the cemetery team are all part the council’s cemetery strategy to provide an excellent service to residents...
275 additional burial plots have been officially opened at North Watford Cemetery.
The investment at the Green-Flag award winning open space managed by Watford Borough Council is significant, and will provide sufficient burial land in Watford for the next 13 years for those communities who wish to be buried in that part of the town.
Following previous improvements including the lodge extension and landscaping of the grounds, the additional works at the 90-year-old North Watford Cemetery - which recently received a gold standard award by the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management - will ensure the council continues to offer an excellent service to residents.
The new features along with upgrades to current facilities include:
- The new ‘Centenary Memorial Garden’ featuring above ground memorials (columbaria) for up to 200 ashes remains
- Ornamental Memorial tree with engraved leaves
- Improvements to the main entrance of the Cemetery
- Enhanced the current pond and added benches to sit and reflect in peaceful surroundings
- Resurfacing and lining the car park
- Creation of two panoramic above ground memorials that hold cremated remains of small pets for people who would like a more permanent memorial and place to visit
