Mayor Susan CooksleyWOOTTON Bassett residents are being urged to give their views about creating new cemetery space.
The town council has now started its public consultation on whether to create double-decker graves at the existing Downs View.
This would mean re-siting existing graves, starting with the oldest ones dating back to 1871.
The other option would be to create another cemetery.
The town council plans to make a decision by the end of the year.
Mayor Susan Cooksley said: "We are talking to different community groups and sending out questionnaires to households.
"We still have a 50-50 split between the two options, with opinions slightly leaning in favour of re-using the existing cemetery.
"But it is early days yet and it could swing the other way. We are consulting on an ongoing basis."
You can complete an online questionnaire at www.woottonbassett.gov.uk, drop off a letter at the town council offices at 117 High Street or email cascadeoffice @northwilts.gov.uk
