The benefit of this payment is effective as long as paid up membership of the Congregation is maintained
Any person joining the Congregation over the age of 70 will not be entitled to reduced burial fees, including the single grave supplement and the Hoop Lane levy.
To be buried at Hoop Lane Cemetery, there is an additional levy payable on top of the basic funeral charges, details of which can be obtained by contacting the office
