Church and burial arrangements in Mayfield
St Dunstan’s Church serves Mayfield and Five Ashes and conducts church, crematorium and graveside funerals. Its churchyard provides for burial and the interment of cremated remains, subject to eligibility, regulations and available space.
The church advises that burial is normally available to people who lived within the parish or worshipped at St Dunstan’s, while other requests are considered by the Parochial Church Council.
We will confirm the current position with the parish before arrangements are finalised. Other churches, churchyards and burial grounds may also be appropriate depending on faith, residence or family connection.

Cremation choices for Mayfield families
Mayfield families may consider Wealden Crematorium, Kent and Sussex Crematorium or another suitable venue.
The most appropriate choice will depend on the style of service, available time, cost and where mourners are travelling from. A service can also take place locally before a separate committal at the crematorium.
