Cemeteries

We are responsible for cemeteries at School Lane, Springthorpe and Legsby Road, Market Rasen. Parish and Town Councils are normally responsible for cemeteries within their parish/town.

Closed churchyards

A closed churchyard is generally taken to mean a churchyard which has been closed for burials. The churchyards remain in the ownership of the respective churches and burial records are also their responsibility.
