Memorials
No installation or alteration to any memorial can take place without prior written approval from the town council.
Headstones and tablets are permitted on a grave or vault subject to an application submitted to and permission being granted by Chesham Town Council. Applications must be submitted to the town council on the appropriate form which is available from the Town Hall (please contact the Town Hall on 01494 774842, Monday to Friday 10 am to 4.30 pm, or email admin@chesham.gov.uk). Before approval can be granted to erect or place a new memorial, to replace, add to or remove from the cemetery any memorial, to add to or alter any inscription on any such memorial, or carry out repair work all fees are to be paid at least two weeks prior to any such installation or alteration. It is necessary to allow a new interment a settlement time of six months before approval can be given for erection of a headstone.
Upon payment of the appropriate fees a permit valid for five years will be issued. Upon expiry, the permit will be renewable for a further five years on payment of a nominal fee.
