Lower Green Road Cemetery and Old Church Cemetery
The Parish Council also owns the closed cemetery beside the Pembury Primary School which was opened in 1856.
The Parish Council is also responsible for the maintenance of the Church of England churchyard at St Peter’s Old Church in Old Church Road. Although now never used for interments, it is managed to support wildlife. Between May and September each year in some areas the grass is allowed to grow to encourage an impressive array of butterflies and wild flowers. Kent Wildlife Trust have designated it as a Local Wildlife Site due to the special plants that can be found there.
The Parish Council is a member of the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management, which provides advice and training to cemetery operators nationally.
