General Cemetery Regulations for Visitors

All visitors are required to respect the function of a Cemetery and conduct themselves in a decent, quiet and orderly manner, and observe the following:

In the interest of safety, a child under 13 years of age is only allowed into the cemeteries grounds when accompanied by and under the care of a responsible adult. Children must not be allowed to climb trees or on memorials, and care must be taken to ensure that other visitors are not disturbed.

Dogs on leads accompanied by responsible owners who are visiting a grave are permitted in our Cemeteries. The owner must clean up any fouling.
No skateboards, skates or scooters (with the exception of mobility scooters) may be ridden in any Cemetery. Cycling is permitted to visit a grave only, and not for leisure purposes.
