The Parish Council reminds undertakers that the Cemetery is maintained as a Lawn Cemetery. While cut flowers and wreaths are permitted the planting of shrubs or trees is subject to rules published separately. Relatives planting bulbs etc take the risk that the shooting flowers may be damaged when the grass is cut. Reasonable care will be taken to avoid this happening but no guarantees can be given or responsibility accepted.
