Notes
No fee shall be payable in respect of the burial of a still-born infant or child

the Incumbent or other Minister officiating at an interment or, in connection
therewith, for registration of burial.
The Ministry Fee covers attendance by the officiating minister at i) a funeral
service, or ii) a funeral service followed by burial, or iii) a funeral service
followed by a cremation and the subsequent interment of cremated remains.
This applies whether the attendance is at a Church in Wales church or
elsewhere. The Ministry Fee also includes the signing of the Green Form by the
officiating minister. Additional charges for travel costs outside the parish or
ministry area may also be levied by the officiating minister.
The Church Fee covers use of the church for a funeral or memorial service.
Additional charges can be made for organist, choir, sexton and the reasonable
cost of additional heating.
The Burial Fee is for the burial of a body or cremated remains in the allocated
grave or cremated remains plot. An additional charge, set locally, will be made
for grave digging. The fee is also applicable to a burial or interment in an
existing grave or plot.
The Memorial Fee is for the grant of the right to erect a monument on the
grave in accordance with the Churchyard Regulations. There will be no
reduction for a total replacement of the memorial and a partial replacement
will be charged pro-rata. The maintenance of the monument remains the
responsibility of the family that erected it.
