A new cemetery in Crowborough

Crowborough has a new town cemetery, which was officially opened by Crowborough’s Mayor, Councillor Matthew Street, this morning at an event attended by Glenys, Jo and Glen from Tester & Jones. Summersales Burial Ground is located in a beautiful meadow in London Road, about a mile from the town centre (just down the road from our building).

Owned and managed by Crowborough Town Council, Summersales offers coffin and ashes interments (in the Forest View Garden of Remembrance), as well as three new options – natural burials in the Summersales Meadow; the Ashdown Family Garden, allowing families to be buried together in one location; and Summersales Lea, an area for four circular garden beds, which will be available to book for the scattering of ashes. There is also The Children’s Garden.

At the centre of the plot is The Summersales Room, a bright stand-alone building with a glass frontage and seating for up to 40 people. It has AV available with a screen for video and music. The room can also be hired for memorials.

The burial ground is now open for visitors daily (and there’s plenty of parking on site):

April to September: 08.30 to 20.00

October to March: 09.00 to 15.30
