Larges Lane Cemetery
The cemetery in Larges Lane was created from 2.4 acres of ancient meadowland during the 1880's. It has remained untouched by fertilizers and other chemicals and consequently has a rich variety of grasses and wildflowers. Bracknell Town Council is careful to ensure that whilst some areas in the cemetery remain uncut at certain times of the year to encourage wildflowers to bloom and seed, the remainder is regularly mown to give an overall well maintained appearance. Fertilisers, weed-killers and pesticides are not used.
In 1996 it became part of a national project and is now designated as a ‘Living Churchyard’ being wildlife friendly. The cemetery has won several awards under the "Living Churchyards and Cemeteries Scheme" and hopes to gain Wildlife Heritage Status.
The cemetery is open between 8am and sunset. Please note that there is a parking restriction between 9.30am and 2.30pm on weekdays immediately outside the Cemetery gates.
There are no longer any burial plots available for purchase in the cemetery, but those families owning a plot may continue to have their family members interred. Plots are still available to purchase for the interment of cremated remains. The Council aims to provide a peaceful oasis for visitors in the centre of Bracknell. Certain adornments are not permitted on memorial stones. These include any form of fencing or edging, wind chimes, balloons, glass containers and ornaments. Glass vases are frequently knocked or blown by the wind. Broken glass then becomes a hazard when the grassed area around the memorials is cut. Plastic flowers and toys are not appropriate items to leave on memorials and may cause distress to others visiting the cemetery. Fresh flowers in a vase may be placed in the chapel. Every endeavour is made to ensure that the cemetery is maintained to a high standard and families are asked to adhere to the Council’s guidance.
Permission for the erection of all memorials must be sought from Bracknell Town Council. Details of the regulations concerning memorials can be obtained from Brooke House. Our price list is available to download or you can contact Brooke House for details.
