Bereavement Services

Norse Road Cemetery

Bereavement Services are responsible for the management and operation of Norse Road Cemetery and Crematorium and Foster Hill Road Cemetery.   We have responsibility for arranging Public Health funerals (where no satisfactory arrangements are being made).  We also maintain 7 closed churchyards within the Borough of Bedford namely:-

  • St Cuthbert’s, Bedford
  • St Mary’s, Bedford
  • St John’s, Bedford.
  • St Paul’s, Bedford.
  • St Mary’s, Goldington
  • St Peter De Merton, Bedford
  • St Thomas A Beckett (Clapham)

There is an office within Norse Road Cemetery where staff are committed to providing a high quality, caring service for the bereaved, offering impartial help, support and guidance on all aspects of bereavement including memorialisation.  Bereavement Services are full members of The Charter for the Bereaved.

Staff at the site are always ready to give conducted tours of the Crematorium and Cemetery. These tours can be for organizations or individuals. We are committed to explain about all aspects of the Cemetery and Crematorium in order for people to make informed decisions, in particular about the types of funeral and commemoration they want after their own death. Simply telephone the Cemetery Office on (01234) 718150 or email crem@bedford.gov.uk to make an appointment.
