Henley-on-Thames

Considering Henley-on-Thames as a final resting place?

We recommend that before you make the decision to purchase a burial or interment plot, you come and visit the burial ground to make sure it is the right place for you and your family.

The site is open all year round during daylight hours, so please feel free to visit without making an appointment. The gate is always unlocked.

If you would like a guided tour around the ground, please get in touch with the custodian, who will be happy to meet you there and answer any questions about plot locations, natural burial practices, or how the site is managed.

Visiting a grave

If you’re returning to visit a loved one’s grave, you’re welcome any day, during daylight hours, without needing to arrange anything in advance.

Because we sometimes have funerals taking place on site, you may wish to check the calendar below before you set off, so you can avoid the burial ground at that time and have the space to yourselves.

Visiting the burial meadow

We recommend that before you make the decision to purchase a burial or interment plot, you go to visit the burial ground, to make sure it is the right place for you and your family.

If you are planning to visit the burial ground, please be aware the main gate is kept locked but the adjacent pedestrian gate is always open (the burial ground is 500 metres from this gate). If you wish to drive up to the burial ground, please call us before visiting for access instructions.
