The Cemeteries service

Cemeteries service performance

Maintenance

Our maintenance programme includes:

  • grass cutting
  • litter collection
  • preparation from interments
  • ground re-instatement
  • shrub beds
  • flower beds
  • tree work
  • weed control
  • removal and disposal of floral tributes and wreaths

Grass is cut on a fortnightly basis from April to September inclusive, weather permitting.

Floral tributes are collected for disposal on a weekly basis, after 14 days from the burial date, and litter bins emptied regularly. Holly wreaths will be left in place until mid-February then removed as resources allow.

We plant out and maintain soil borders and flower/shrub beds as required, including weeding, feeding and pruning.
