Work to expand North Watford Cemetery has been completed.

A total of 275 additional burial plots have been officially opened at North Watford Cemetery by the Elected Mayor Peter Taylor and Portfolio Holder for Neighbourhood Services, Cllr Tim Williams.

The investment at the Green-Flag award winning open space managed by Watford Borough Council is significant, and will provide sufficient burial land in Watford for the next 13 years for those communities who wish to be buried in that part of the town.

Following previous improvements including the lodge extension and landscaping of the grounds, the additional works at the 90-year-old North Watford Cemetery - which recently received a gold standard award by the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management - will ensure the council continues to offer an excellent service to residents.

Elected Mayor of Watford said: "North Watford Cemetery is a much-loved and important facility that I know brings comfort to many people. It is good that we have been able to provide this additional burial space, as well as alternative ways for people to remember their loved ones. This extension give us more time to explore options for future burial space so it remains an option for those who would like this choice."
