1. Every person dying in this country and not within the exceptions mentioned below (§ 3) has a common law right to be buried in the churchyard or burial ground of the parish in which he dies, by the clergyman of the parish.[270] Canon 67 prescribes that besides the passing bell (see Ch. VIII. § 1 below) there shall be rung after a person's death no more than one short peal, and one other before the burial and one other after the burial. If he dies out of his own parish, the persons who are responsible for his burial may claim that he be buried in his own parish.[271] If the clergyman or the persons having charge of the ground refuse interment, the ecclesiastical court is the proper tribunal to give relief, and it will compel the interment. The High Court would also compel it by mandamus.[272] But a parishioner has no right to be buried at a particular hour or (except in the case of a private vault or a prescriptive right to a special spot) in a particular part of the churchyard. The incumbent can fix his own time for the funeral, and he and the churchwardens can exercise a discretion as to where each body shall be buried.[273] And neither incumbent nor churchwardens, nor both together, can make a valid sale or grant to individuals or families of a grave-space in the churchyard for their use in perpetuity. Any such attempted transaction is worthless in point of law. An exclusive right of burial in not more than one-sixth part of land given as an addition to a churchyard may be reserved by the donor to himself, his heirs, and assigns in perpetuity,[274] but with this exception no such exclusive right can be acquired in a spot within a churchyard except by faculty.[275] A person not a parishioner and not dying within the parish can only be buried in the parish churchyard, otherwise than in a private vault, by the favour and with the permission of the incumbent and churchwardens,[276] or under a faculty obtained from the Ecclesiastical Courts.[277] 2. As regards the burial of bodies cast up on the shore of the sea or of any tidal or navigable water, the rights and duties are the same as if they were the bodies of parishioners of the parish in which they were cast up.[278]
