Application process
An application for a right of interment permit is made directly to the relevant cemetery trust.
When applying for a right of interment permit you will need to meet the trust's documentation requirements and pay the relevant fee. Fees for each Victorian cemetery trust can be accessed using the Cemetery search(opens in a new window).
Cemetery trusts have a number of record keeping requirements under the Cemeteries and Crematoria Regulations 2025 relating to rights of interment. The department developed the Application for right of interment form (also known as Form A) to help trusts meet these requirements.
Many cemetery trusts use Form A as part of the right of interment application process, however it is not mandatory. Form A can be completed by hand or completed online and printed for signature.
