Our current cemetery sites at Larpool (Whitby), Woodlands (Scarborough) and The Lawns (Filey) are estimated to reach full capacity at different times.
Based on current burial rates and number of available burials plots for each cemetery, it is estimated that Larpool and Woodlands will have reached full capacity in the next four years and Lawns cemetery in the next six years. Dean/Manor Road cemetery has already reached full capacity.
Larpool and Woodlands cemeteries are directly managed by us, Filey Town Council have the lease for and are responsible for managing The Lawns cemetery.
Although the provision of burial land is not a statutory function of a local authority, we have provided such facilities for its residents and the public expectation would be for this to continue.
A number of feasibility studies of potential sites across the 3 main towns (Whitby, Scarborough and Filey) have been undertaken by our contractors, Cemetery Development Services Ltd. (CDSL). We are seeking your views on the potential sites and welcome you to complete the consultation questionnaire by clicking on the links below for each cemetery site:
Further details on the feasibility studies can be found in the report taken to Cabinet.
