• Grave Search Request Form
• Grave Purchase Enquiry Form

The Council's Cemeteries Officer works closely with local funeral directors to provide a burial service to those that are bereaved.

The Council operates six cemeteries in the Borough at Colne, Nelson, Barrowford, Barnoldswick, Earby and Sough, and a memorial wall in each of the cemeteries, except Nelson.

The Council compiles a burial register, and offers plots for Muslim burials, although it does not operate any crematoria.

If you are interested in purchasing a burial plot or grave, please complete the enquiry form above or contact us on the details below.
