Headstones and memorials
If you want to erect a headstone or memorial, you will need to ask us for permission before you put it in place. You will need to use a registered stone mason to design and erect any headstone.
You can find a registered stone mason here.
There are restrictions on the size of the headstone, memorials and kerb sets:
