Planting borders

We do not recommend you plant anything in the headstone borders. Do not plant conifer shrubs on any occasion in the memorial border. Conifer trees can grow very large and can cause problems at such times as the grave needs to be reopened for an interment.

If you have a grave in the lawned section, please help us keep the area tidy and easy for all visitors to access by following some guidelines.

  • Graves with a headstone – you can add planting or mini kerbs to a maximum width of 3’6” and a maximum length of 1’10"
  • Cremation and child graves – you can add planting or mini kerbs to a maximum width of 2’6” and a maximum length of 1’6”
