A full burial plot can hold 2 full interments and up to 6 sets of ashes which are interred on top following the second full burial.  Cremation plots can hold up to 2 sets of ashes.

If you wish to find a friend or relative within Highworth Cemetery please email with as much information as possible to enable us to locate the correct plot number.

Memorial benches have been placed within the cemetery. If this is something you would like to do, we ask you to pay Highworth Town Council directly for the cost of the bench and Highworth Town Council will source and install it. Due to the space being limited the number of benches permitted are limited.
