The Burial Grounds
Chesham Bois Parish Council maintains two burial grounds, a Garden of Remembrance and a Chapel in a peaceful rural setting approached via Bois Moor Road, Chesham.
The Formal Burial Ground
This was opened in 1924 and subsequently extended when the council acquired
further land in 2004. Consecrated and un-consecrated plots are available. A
choice of memorials is allowed subject to prior approval and safe fixing.
Ashes may be scattered or interred.
The Woodland Burial Ground
This was opened in 2006 where an area adjacent to the formal cemetery has
been planted with saplings of native species which will eventually form
glades in which burials can now take place using biodegradable materials.
Indigenous flora and fauna are encouraged but there will be no visible
markers. Plots will be single depth and may be reserved.
The Garden of Remembrance
The garden adjacent to the chapel and close to the car park is planted with
box and lavender and has been created for the scattering of cremated
remains. Memorial plaques may be fixed to the Wall of Remembrance.
The Chapel
The chapel is available for services and has seating accommodation for
approximately fifty people.
