Please read, important Information on cemeteries in Cardiff. With Regards to COVID 19 situation.
COVID-19 Update – 1st April
In the latest of Cardiff Council’s regular COVID-19 updates:
1️ cemeteries to temporarily close after large number of weekend visitors, and
2️ Cardiff Market changes ensure stalls selling essentials can remain open.
1️ Cardiff cemeteries to temporarily close after large number of weekend visitors
Four Cardiff cemeteries are to be temporarily closed to the public, unless they are attending a funeral, following a weekend which saw large numbers of people visiting the sites and failing to adhere to government instructions on social distancing.
Cabinet Member with responsibility for Bereavement Services, Cllr Michael Michael said: “Closing these sites isn’t something we’re doing lightly, but during the current emergency, public safety, and limiting the spread of COVID-19 has to come first.
“Unfortunately, the unusually high number of visitors this weekend, coupled with the lack of social distancing taking place, means we have to do what many authorities in other areas have already done - restrict access.
From 2nd April the gates at Cathays Cemetery, Western Cemetery and Pantmawr Cemetery will be locked at all times, with limited access, for a maximum of ten immediate family members, only granted when funerals and burials are taking place on site.
Access to Thornhill Cemetery and Crematorium will also be restricted. In line with Welsh Government legislation the Crematorium itself will be closed to the wider public, with the exception of a maximum of 10 immediate family members attending funerals and burials. No public access will be allowed to other areas of the site, such as the gardens, memorials or Book of Remembrance.
Cllr Michael added: “We understand that some people will find this difficult, for example if they are unable to visit a relative on an anniversary, and we are sympathetic to that, but these are challenging times and ultimately we have to do everything necessary to keep people safe.”

Changes have been introduced at Cardiff Market to ensure that essential traders can continue providing fresh produce to customers across the city during the COVID19 outbreak.

Diweddariad COVID-19 – 1 Ebrill
Y diweddara am COVID-19 gan Gyngor Caerdydd:
1️ mynwentydd i gau dros dro ar ôl nifer uchel o ymwelwyr ar y penwythnos, a
2️ newidiadau i Farchnad Caerdydd yn sicrhau bod stondinau sy’n gwerthu nwyddau hanfodol yn aros ar agor.
1️ Mynwentydd Caerdydd i gau dros dro ar ôl nifer uchel o ymwelwyr ar y penwythnos
Caiff pedair mynwent yng Nghaerdydd eu cau i’r cyhoedd dros dro, oni bai eu bod yn mynd i angladd, yn dilyn penwythnos gyda llu o bobl yn ymweld â’r safleoedd ac yn methu cydymffurfio â chyfarwyddiadau'r Llywodraeth ar ymbellhau cymdeithasol.
Dywedodd yr Aelod Cabinet sy'n gyfrifol am y Gwasanaethau Profedigaeth, y Cynghorydd Michael Michael: “Nid oedd cau’r safleoedd hyn yn benderfyniad hawdd i ni, ond yn ystod yr argyfwng presennol, rhaid i ddiogelwch y cyhoedd a chyfyngu lledaeniad COVID-19 fod y flaenoriaeth gyntaf.
“Yn anffodus, mae nifer yr ymwelwyr sydd wedi bod yn anarferol o uchel y penwythnos hwn ar y cyd a’r diffyg ymbellhau cymdeithasol yn golygu bod rhaid i ni wneud yr hyn y mae llawer o awdurdodau mewn ardaloedd eraill eisoes wedi’i wneud - cyfyngu mynediad.
O 2 Ebrill bydd gatiau Mynwent Cathays, Mynwent y Gorllewin a Mynwent Pantmawr wedi eu cloi drwy’r amser, gyda mynediad cyfyngedig, am uchafswm o ddeg aelod teulu agos, dim ond pan gynhelir angladdau a chladdedigaethau ar y safle.
Bydd mynediad cyfyngedig i Fynwent ac Amlosgfa Draenen Pen-y-graig hefyd. Yn unol â deddfwriaeth Llywodraeth Cymru bydd yr Amlosgfa ei hun ar gau i’r cyhoedd ehangach, ac eithrio i uchafswm o 10 aelod teulu agos yn mynychu angladdau a chladdedigaethau. Ni chaniateir mynediad i’r cyhoedd i ardaloedd eraill y safle, megis y gerddi, y cofebion, neu’r Llyfr Coffa.
Ychwanegodd y Cynghorydd Michael: “Rydym yn deall y bydd hyn yn anodd i rai pobl, er enghraifft os na allant ymweld â pherthynas ar ben-blwydd, ac rydym yn cydymdeimlo gyda hyn, ond mae hi’n adeg heriol ac yn y pen draw mae rhaid i ni wneud popeth y gallwn ni i gadw pobl yn ddiogel.”
2️ Marchnad Caerdydd
Mae newidiadau wedi’u cyflwyno ym Marchnad Caerdydd i sicrhau y gall masnachwyr hanfodol barhau i gynnig cynnyrch ffres i gwsmeriaid ledled y ddinas yn ystod yr achosion o COVID19.
