Judgments on Grave Space Reservations


2024-09 September: Fazeley St Paul Hudson

The Deputy Chancellor granted a faculty for the reservation of a grave space for the period of 15 years in accordance with the approach set out at [32] of St Mary, Thame (and adopted in this Diocese by Chancellor Verduyn in St Mark’s, Ocker Hill [2022] ECC Lic 4)


2024-09 September: Fazeley St Paul Timms

The Deputy Chancellor granted a faculty for the reservation of a double depth grave space for the period of 50 years usually allowed.


2022-06 June: Tipton Ocker Hill St Mark

The Deputy Chancellor granted a faculty for the reservation of a double depth grave space for the period of 50 years usually allowed. He distinguished this case from Re St. Mark Ocker Hill Tipton [2022] ECC Lic 4, where he limited the reservation for 20 years, because the graveyard could be full and closed before a longer reservation would need to be exercised; in the present case, one of the joint petitioners was terminally ill, so that the double plot would be in use quite soon.
