Grant of Right of Burial

A Grant of Right of Burial is a tenure agreement of a gravesite or niche wall compartment. This document gives the grant holder (referred to as the Grantee), the right to conduct burials, inter ashes and erect a memorial on the gravesite. The Grantee can also deny any activity within the gravesite or niche wall.
A Grant of Right of Burial is issued for 25 years, with the right of renewal for a further 25 years. It is important that the Grantee makes provisions in a legal document (e.g. their Will) to allow transfer of the Grant to another person if required.A Grant must be current if additional burials, ashes interments and/or memorial works are to take place on the gravesite.An application to obtain a new Grant of Right of Burial is contained within Form 1 – Application for Burial or Interment. Once processed, the Shire will issue a Certificate of Grant of Right of Burial which will expire after 25 years.
