Burial Ground Guidelines

• All Grave space to be left without kerbstones.
• Maintenance of the memorial is the responsibility of the grave owner. Langham Parish Council (LPC) contractors will maintain the lawn area and fencing.
• Single headstones can be erected but not to exceed 122cms (4 ft.) in height, a wooden cross may be placed at the head of grave as a temporary measure only.
• Headstone to be either black, white or natural stone.
• Text must be approved by Langham Parish Council.
• Pots only on headstones.
• Plants and shrubs should be potted only and not planted in the ground.
• Seasonal or anniversary memorabilia may be placed at the head of the grave plot or secured to the headstone with natural materials.
• The owner of the Exclusive Right of Burial (purchaser of the plot) is responsible for removing any memorabilia after a reasonable time. Langham Parish Council will remove items after two months as part of our routine maintenance works.
• Cremation plaques are not to exceed 46cms (18 inches) square and only in black, white or natural stone.

Please Note
Due to the rural location rabbits will graze flowers and grass, this is something that LPC have no control over.
