Arranging a burial at one of our cemeteries

If you have appointed a funeral director, they will contact us on your behalf.

If you are organising the funeral, you can give us the information we need to make a provisional booking and we will contact you to confirm the arrangements.

If your enquiry is about a child's burial, please contact us to discuss the options available.

Occasionally we are asked to arrange the burial of a person who dies in the Staffordshire Moorlands but has no one else to make the arrangements. This is known as a council burial..

If you have any other general enquiries about burials in the Staffordshire Moorlands please contact us.

Financial support for next of kin:

If you are in receipt of benefits you may be entitled to a one off funeral payment to cover the costs of the funeral from the Department for Work and Pensions.
