Graveyards are running out of space
Wells Funeral Services
An astonishing 40 per cent of graveyards are forecast to be full by 2030. According to an analysis of 1,304 cemeteries, 293 already have no room left and 226 are forecast to run out of plots within the next 10 years. The burial system has been described as unsustainable as councils scramble to find alternative land.
A £3million site has just been opened in Cardiff with councillors making the case for the expenditure pointing out that the death rate is only going to increase over the next ten years. Many councils are soon going to find themselves at crisis point if they don’t act similarly soon.
