Private Grave Maintenance Service

[A well-maintained grave] Grave owners can arrange for the Council to carryout grave maintenance on their behalf. The maintenance consists of planting the grave either at the headstone area or the length of the grave depending on the type of grave. Planting is carried out twice a year with spring and summer bedding and the grave is kept weed free and generally tidy. Grave owners can request only one planting at half the normal price. For costs, see Cemetery Fees and Charges.
