Funeral Information
Funerals:
Funerals in either of our Churches (St Brelade and St Aubin on the Hill) or at the Crematorium are organised by and through the Funeral Director you have chosen to deal with your bereavement. You can, however contact us direct, by emailing the Rector, or telephoning him on 01534 742302.
We are also happy to conduct Memorial Services for those who have died away from the island or when ashes are returning to be placed in a family grave. If you would like to arrange this sort of service, then please contact the Rector.
PLEASE NOTE:
The Churchyard, is now closed for new burials, so all new graves are now made in the Parish Cemetery, the Cimetiere des Quennevais, which is situated between the Belle Vue Estate and La Rue Carree. Burials may take place in existing graves in the Churchyard if there is room in the grave without compromising the safety limits required by law. Cremated remains may be buried in the churchyard or the Rose Garden or in a family grave if there is room. Your Funeral Director will discuss your wishes with you and he/she will liase with the Verger. All burials in the churchyard are at the discretion of the Rector. Those in Les Quennevais Cemetery are at the discretion of the Connetable.
For geneologists - and those looking for their ancestors!
We have a complete map of our churchyards with details of all burial back to about 1860. Details of burials older than this are in registers which are now kept at the Jersey Archive. All registers, when full, are kept by the Archive so we now only have those which are current.
All enquiries regarding the cemetery or Burial Register, please contact the Verger, Mr Barry Taylor as below:
