The memorial mason must tell us when they will be working in the cemetery. We will check it has been erected to the correct official standards and will contact you and the memorial mason if the inspection shows any problems.

We understand the personalisation of burial lair can assist with the grieving process and in commemorating the dead person. We have a responsibility to ensure a uniform level of maintenance and service is provided to all graves in a cemetery. The covering of a grave with items such as kerbs, gravel, planters and ornaments can disrupt the smooth operation of our maintenance. In order that everybody who visits the cemetery and commemorates a loved one there, our management rules advises that the memorial should be placed only on the top 600mm at the head of the grave.
