APPLICATION TO BUY EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO INSTALL MEMORIALS

This form is used to purchase the right to install memorials (for a term of 100 years) on a specific plot in the cemetery at Newton, Sturminster Newton, Dorset. This right can only be bought by the person or persons who have already bought (or received a transfer of) the exclusive right of burial in that plot. If application is being made by any person other than the original purchaser of that right, we will require reasonable evidence of transfer of the right.

Please note that the separate applications must be made for each interment, for approval of each memorial and for approval of any additional inscription. However, fee paid on this application automatically includes the fee payable for approval of the initial memorial if that application is lodged at the same time.

We will periodically check the safety of memorials and notify you if, in our opinion, your memorial requires repair. We reserve the right to make safe any memorial which is not made safe by its owner within a reasonable time.

A full schedule of fees can be obtained from the council office or the council’s website.

Purchaser (Please take care when completing this section as the person named here, and only that person, will have the legal right to authorize the installation of memorials and/or additional inscriptions on the grave)
