My questions refer to cemeteries and graveyards owned/run/managed by the council. By 'burials' I refer to body burials rather than the burial of cremated remains:

1. How many grave plots were used for new burials (or bought/reserved for future burials) in council-run cemeteries in 2020, and how many were used in each of the years 2019, 2018, 2017 and 2016?

St Sebastian's
2016: Four
2017: Two
2018: Three
2019: Four
2020: Nine

Shinfield
2016: Seven
2017: Eleven
2018: Six
2019: Nine
2020: Twelve

2. How many grave plots/burial spaces remain empty/available for burials/reservation across your council-run cemeteries?
Across both cemeteries, we have an estimated 400 burial spaces. Most of these in the newly extended area at St Sebastian’s.

3. Does your council have an estimate of when space across council-run/owned cemeteries will run out completely?
No.

4. How many cemeteries and graveyards are run/owned by the council?
Four.

5. How many of these are at full capacity/closed to new burials and in what calendar year did they close to new burials?
Two - We have not been able to find the dates of when this was but it would be pre 2007.

6. Does your council have any land currently earmarked for new/overspill burial space, and what is the current use of that land?
No.
