    You should know… The cemetery can get muddy underfoot, so wear sensible shoes. When viewing memorials, please do not lean on them.   Although memorials can appear stable, when pressure is applied, the stability can fail which could result in injury to yourself or another person. Bedford Borough Council carry out annual memorial inspections throughout the cemetery.

    Photography: Photography is allowed within the cemetery however, permission of the grave owner should always be sought if placing photographs on social media sites.

    Animals: Dogs are permitted within the cemetery as long as they are kept on a lead and any mess is cleared up.  Dogs must be kept under control and not cause a nuisance to any visitors to the cemetery.
