4 September 2026
Ross-on-Wye Town Cemetery on Walford Road, owned and managed by Ross-on-Wye Town Council, has been awarded a Silver Standard Certificate at the 2026 BRAMM Cemetery of the Year Awards.
The new BRAMM Cemetery Standard Certificates have been introduced for 2026 and are awarded based on the score achieved by burial authorities when completing the Cemetery of the Year questionnaire.
The questionnaire is designed to encourage burial authorities to consider the facilities, services and provisions they offer to the bereaved, as well as identifying areas where improvements could be made.
In the Parish, Town and Community Council category, 25% of entrants achieved the Gold Standard, while 62% were awarded the Silver Standard, placing Ross-on-Wye Town Cemetery among those recognised for meeting a high standard.
Deputy Town Clerk, Charlotte Reynolds, said: “We were delighted to receive this recognition for Ross-on-Wye Town Cemetery. The cemetery is an important and much-loved place within our community and is the final resting place of many dearly loved friends and relatives.
“We are continually looking at ways we can improve both the appearance of the cemetery and the experience we provide for those who visit and use it. This award is a welcome recognition of the work that goes into maintaining the cemetery and supporting bereaved families.
“We will continue to look at what more we can do to improve our provision and ensure Ross-on-Wye Town Cemetery remains a peaceful, welcoming and well-maintained place for our community.” Ross-on-Wye Town Council is committed to continuing to develop and improve the cemetery, ensuring it remains a fitting and respectful place for those who are laid to rest there, as well as for the families and friends who visit.
