Caerphilly graves to be stripped of ‘unauthorised items’ [for health and safety reasons!] (From South Wales Argus)

Caerphilly graves to be stripped of ‘unauthorised items’ (From South Wales Argus): A HIGHLY controversial policy to remove tributes and other items from peoples’ graves is to be implemented across a Gwent county.


Caerphilly council says its so-called "lawn policy" which will require unauthorised items such as lanterns, flower pots and chippings to be removed from graves is to be put into force at all ten of its cemeteries.

The council claims "grave personalisation" causes a health and safety risk to staff and visitors because of trip hazards caused by small fences and ornaments.
