The Exclusive Rights of Burial fees will be increased where a person at the time of death was not regarded as a resident of Newcastle upon Tyne, unless: a) the Exclusive Rights are purchased at the time of the burial; b) the deceased had resided within the boundary of the city within the five years prior to their death; c) The deceased is a baby between 24 weeks up to and including 18 years. Purchasing the Exclusive Rights to a grave does not grant ownership of the grave but does give the deed holder control over further burials in the grave, if there is space, and over any memorials that may be placed on the grave, subject to the Cemetery Rules and Regulations. The deed holder must make an application for a memorial to Newcastle City Council via a mason who has been verified on our registered list of stonemasons. The Council reserves the right to remove any memorial that does not meet with the requirements of the Cemetery Rules and Regulations. The rights to a grave may be purchased in advance, or for memorial purposes only. In these instances, the fee is determined by the address of the purchaser.
