Cemetery

Axminster Town Council Cemetery is owned and managed by Axminster Town Council. Requests to reserve a plot or arrange a burial or interment of ashes may be made through the Town Clerk/Deputy Town Clerk but are usually done through an undertaker. Those who want a less formal way in which to mark the passing of a loved one may prefer to have the ashes interred in the Crescent Bed which is designated specially for this purpose.

Any new memorials or additional inscription on an existing memorial must have the prior approval of the Town Council and must be installed by an appropriate contractor. Such requests are usually made through a memorial mason.
