Rules for Flowers and Memorial Items
In preserving the dignity and historical significance of our churchyard, we encourage all mourners and visitors to adhere to the rules regarding flowers, memorials, and objects left on graves. This ensures that the space remains respectful and accessible for everyone.
Memorial Stones
Strict regulations govern the erection of memorial stones in the churchyard. There are fees associated with submitting an application for a memorial stone, and these help fund the ongoing care and maintenance of the grounds.
