We are committed to providing as much assistance as possible to guide you through this difficult time.
The three cemeteries that Mendip District Council maintain are:
- Street (Cemetery Lane)
- Shepton Mallet (Waterloo Road)
- Frome (Warminster Road)
Glastonbury cemetery is owned by Glastonbury Town Council and Wells cemetery is owned by Wells City Council
Most funerals are provided through a funeral director who can provide a professional service. Some people may prefer not to use a funeral director, which is legal.
