Regulations

These regulations are for families who have purchased or who wish to purchase a Deed of Exclusive Right of Burial in Annesley Cemetery.

The Parish Council wishes to make families aware of the following regulations:

Council permission must be obtained prior to the placing of any memorial.
The Council will undertake to turf or seed the grave as soon as it is practically possible to do so following interment.
The only permitted memorials on a grave will be a headstone which incorporates a flower container, or a single unbreakable flower container.
The fixing of flat stones or kerb sets will not be permitted. Enclosing borders of any description or raised plots are also not permitted.
Future memorials must not be of wood, metal, glass, concrete or synthetic materials and shall not be painted.
No trees, shrubs, or bulbs shall be planted on or near graves.
The Parish Council reserves the right to remove any headstones, vases, trees, shrubs and bulbs which are not compliant with the foregoing conditions.
The surface of a grave must not be obstructed but remain flat for easy mowing.
No trenches or other means of marking the boundary of a grave are permitted.
All new graves are lawn type and as such will be mown on a regular basis.
Only authorized vehicles are allowed in the Cemetery and it is an offence to drive a vehicle anywhere in the Cemetery except on the main drive.
When new graves are being dug, there may be some short term disruption to neighbouring graves owing to soil displacement.
The Council reserves the right from time to time to revise these rules.
