Burials on Private Land
In the UK, planning permission is not required for non-commercial sites, for a limited number of burials for family, friends and those living in the house.
There are, however, various legal requirements and recommendations relating to private land burial.
It is strongly recommended that you read the relevant chapter (Chapter 4) of the Natural Death Handbook before proceeding with a burial on private land.
The Handbook may be ordered securely online or via Tel. 0871 288 2098.
