New Cemetery works getting underway
Update 16th February 2026

Works are progressing well to the new cemetery, with ditches cleared, hedges laid, a stone memorial wall and boundary stock fence installed and pathways near completion. However we have had to pause the final stages of landscaping for a time due to the extremely wet weather conditions. In February a volunteer work party will be planting 1,400 native plant species to create a new boundary hedge. The cemetery will not be open for interments as early this year as originally planned, hopefully late summer - please click here for updates.
