How do I arrange for a plot for cremated remains in the churchyard?
The ancient church of St. Hubert has a churchyard which is open to residents of Corfe Mullen and members of the church electoral roll for the interment of cremated remains. Plots cannot be bought nor reserved. Fees are charged to cover the costs and there are rules about memorial stones or plaques which must be complied with. Arrangements for the interment of ashes are to be made through the Parish Office (Tel: 01202 602948; email: office@h3artrhythms.org.uk).
