The churchyard is still open for burials of bodies and cremated remains.

If you live in the parish, or have a genuine family connection with the churchyard, then it may be possible for burial or interment to take place here. You should ask your funeral director to make enquiries on your behalf.

The churchyard is maintained at the expense of the Parochial Church Council, with occasional grants from Gosport Borough Council. We make no charge to families for this, and any donations will be gratefully received.

Donations can be sent to: The Administrator, St Mary the Virgin Church, Rowner Lane, Gosport PO13 9SU.

There are many interesting old graves, the latest marked stone being of 1680 in the southern section near the old church.

There are strict Regulations governing the type of stone and wording and what can be put around graves and cremated remains. These are available from the Administrator at the above address.
