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:
Headstone – The dimensions must be no more than 900mm height x 600mm width x 150mm depth.
Memorials – Cremation plot – these should measure no more 600mm width x 600mm depth x 200mm height.
Child’s grave – these must not exceed the grave space being 400mm wide and 900mm long.
All memorials and tributes must be placed within the allocated plot. The Council reserves the right to remove any items that are positioned outside the plot boundaries, pose a risk of harm, or are considered offensive.
