Hi Perthtasha

Telford Council manages 3 cemeteries, the nearest looks to be Wellington about 3 miles from Oakengates

http://www.telford.gov.uk/info/20090/deaths_funerals_and_cremations/323/cemeteries_and_crematoriums

The website suggests you contact the Register Office but I don't think that is correct.

but give it a go and see if they can help

Hello

The nearest Church Yard/Cemetery is Wombridge Church which is only yards away from Walton Avenue.
