Graves – cost information
You can buy a grave or lair from us.
Under Scottish law, when you buy a lair you buy the Exclusive Right of Burial in the lair. This includes the right to erect a memorial. The land stays in the ownership of the burial authority or Council.
These rights are sold in perpetuity and may be transferred at any time using a legal procedure with the approval of the Council.
Under normal circumstances a lair will accommodate three adult burials and up to six caskets of cremated remains. However this is dependent on ground conditions and other factors.
