The Lawn Cemetery
Located at All Saints Church, it was purchased by Kesgrave Town Council in 1974 and is now effectively full. In 2010, a Scattering of Ashes Area and Garden of Remembrance was opened in the current lawn cemetery to make the best use of the remaining land available.
The lychgate came from the entrance of All Saints Church.

Tributes
Floral tributes should only be left in appropriate vases attached to the headstones to make grass cutting easier. In the winter months, this becomes even more important as glass and pottery vases can shatter in the frost. Vases can also be placed in the shingle area in the Garden of Remembrance.
The Council has every sympathy with residents who wish to leave tributes on their loved one’s grave. However, the safe, neat, and tidy appearance, which is appreciated by so many relatives visiting the cemetery, has to be preserved. The Council therefore asks that the regulations are adhered to. Failing this, from time to time, Council staff will remove vases and other memorabilia left on graves.
The New Cemetery
In 2011, land was made available north of the A1214, accessed from Dr Watson’s Lane. This area is run by All Saints Church, and some of the infrastructure was paid for by the Council. It is anticipated that this will provide for local interments for many years to come.
This cemetery is owned and managed by All Saints Church. Requests for burial plots, information, or issues with the site should be made to the Vicar at All Saints Church.
All Saints Existing Churchyard
The existing churchyard, within the grounds of All Saints Church, is closed for burials. It is maintained by East Suffolk Council and is also home to a wildflower conservation area.
