Cemeteries

Tower Hill Cemetery

The council maintains a 4 hectare cemetery at Tower Hill. This site has been used as a cemetery since 1857 and is nearing capacity.

Windrush Cemetery

The Windrush cemetery is a 9 hectare site located on Oxford Hill and was opened by the then Mayor of Witney, Councillor David Harvey in May 2004.

With beautiful views over Witney and the surrounding countryside, this cemetery can accommodate traditional as well as meadow and woodland burials. There is also an area designated for cremated memorials and a special area for young people and infants. There are benches and seats overlooking the valley providing a serene and picturesque area for quiet contemplation.
