The Cemetery is situated at Wantage Road, Eddington, Hungerford and there is parking for a small number of cars. In years gone by the town's deceased were buried in St Lawrence's Churchyard but this was getting full by the 1880s and was closed in 1891 following a Notice of Closure. There was an existing Church (St Saviour's) at Eddington, dedicated in 1868, and in 1889 two acres of land were purchased to the north of the existing churchyard and this is now used as the town's Cemetery.


To arrange a burial

In the event of a death, your funeral director will usually make all the necessary arrangements with the Council. However, if you wish to make your own arrangements, HTC staff can offer advice and help with completing any forms required. The Town Council aims to offer a sympathetic service to the bereaved, and deals with enquiries from members of the public, funeral directors and monumental masons.

Visitors to the Cemetery

Visitors are requested to abide by the Cemetery rules which exist to provide for the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of all.

Please see below for our charges and the cemetery regulations. These documents are on display at the Cemetery in the noticeboard in the car park.

Please ensure you read our regulations which must be adhered to. These are important as they enable our maintenance team to keep the cemetery looking its best, allowing them to mow and strim around the graves safely. Access to all the graves needs to be retained.
