Cemeteries
The Bereavement Services of Dartford Borough Council ensure that a caring, supportive and sensitive service is provided to those who are experiencing the loss of a loved one.
A death in the family can be a difficult time for everyone involved and we offer help and advice in a variety of ways:
- Book a burial (see the right column for charges)
- Notify Dartford Borough Council of a death
- Apply for a memorial
- Grave location / Search of records
