Cemeteries
We maintain the following 5 cemeteries in Thurrock. There is a choice of burial services and graves for cremated remains – read our fees and charges for funeral services.
From Wednesday 1 June 2022, we will be repairing roads and pathways in each of the cemeteries below, starting at Corringham Cemetery. The cemeteries will remain open while work is taking place, and you still will be able to visit loved ones. Repair work will be planned to make sure funeral services are not disturbed.
