There is a public cemetery in Picton, opened about 1923, and administered by the local authority. The records are not available for public inspection.

Ordnance Survey reference SJ 106814.
There has been a church on the same site since the 6th Century. The shell of the present building is believed to date from the late 15th Century, but there have been several restorations and additions over the years, especially in 1739, 1746, 1818 and 1877.
The church is dedicated to St. Asaph and St. Cyndeyrn (or Kentigern).

The Clwyd FHS website has a photograph of the church.
