Burials of Wickhamford Parishioners not buried at Wickhamford
The Wickhamford Parish Council Burial Register records only those people whose body or cremated remains were buried at Wickhamford. Comparing the Burial Register entries with funeral services listed in the Parish Magazine from 1957-1996 (the latter year being when Wickhamford became part of Broadway Benefice), it becomes clear that there were many Wickhamford people who were buried or cremated elsewhere. A number of funeral services took place in the Church of St John the Baptist but then cremation took place at Cheltenham or Worcester. From the 1960s, an increasing number of residents began to favour cremation rather than burial. Initially, there was just the option of Cheltenham Crematorium, which had opened in 1938 (the 38th in the country) but, by 1960, there was also a crematorium at Worcester. In 2019, the Vale Crematorium at Fladbury opened. In addition, the Parish Magazine often noted the death of former parishioners. A list of the burials/cremations of parishioners whose body or cremated remains were not buried in the parish is recorded below.
