Four questions, no account, no card. If the fit is poor we say so and show you three better Notices.
Scope, in the buyer’s own words
The current cemetery in Gillingham was opened in 1890 and has over 4100 interments, including ashes interments. On 26 February 2024, following an assessment of available plots, Gillingham Town Council took the decision, that with immediate effect, no new burial plots were provided at Gillingham Cemetery. Only interments in pre-purchased plots and interments of ashes are now permitted.
In January 2026 Gillingham Town Council purchased agricultural land located off The Drove, Common Mead Lane, Gillingham, in a rural setting on the edge of town. In July 2026 a planning application was submitted to Dorset Council for the creation of a new cemetery.
The cemetery design has been developed to harmonise with the rural landscape, minimise ecological impact, support local biodiversity and provide a peaceful, accessible environment for all visitors, whilst providing a much-needed burial facility for the residents of Gillingham,
