Cemeteries Consultation

We want our cemeteries to be safe, peaceful, respectful places for visiting loved ones.

Our cemeteries have regulations to help maintain standards. These regulations cover a range of topics, from the size and type of commemorative items that can be placed on graves, to expected behaviour when visiting a cemetery.

We are reviewing our cemetery regulations to make sure they're up to date. We're also writing a new strategy for cemeteries. We would like you to have your say.

Bereavement is a sensitive and emotive subject. When preparing this survey, we've taken care to minimise any distress the questions might cause. However, if there are any questions you would prefer not to answer, please leave them blank.

The questions in this survey cover:

• burials and cremations
• memorials
• environment
• children's sections
• burial chapels
• natural burials and faith burials
• community involvement
• visiting with dogs
