Important information
Plots cannot be reserved at either the Hyde or the Lawn cemeteries.
You will need to provide proof of the deceased's residency when booking.
Non Residents Fee:
- most of the fees are trebled for a person who at the time of death resides outside the borough of Welwyn Hatfield.
- Any relevant fees relating to the grave afterwards will also be trebled.
The only exceptions to the trebling of fees are as follows:
- If a grave is purchased at the standard rate for the first internment for a resident of the borough, any future fees will remain as standard
- If a resident is required to move out of the area for medical care or to any nursing home within the last 2 years
