Notification of Headstone/Memorial Works in Wetherby Cemetery, Hallfield Lane, Wetherby
Notice is hereby given by Wetherby Town Council to owners of graves in Wetherby Cemetery of proposals to deal with those headstones/memorials that were laid down under the Safety Inspection programme 2006-9.
Owners of 90 of these graves have not come forward to reinstate their headstones/memorials for which they have a legal responsibility. Although the council has offered financial support for this work, it is accepted that in many cases there will be no living owners.
The memorials are causing continued grounds/maintenance problems as well as adversely affecting the visual image of the cemetery.
In accordance with the Local Authorities Cemetery Order (LACAO) 1977, the council proposes to do one of the following two options to all the headstones/memorials listed below:
Option 1 – Remove base and re-erect the headstone by part burying it so inscription can be read
Option 2 – Refixing stone crosses to bases
The headstones and memorials involved are as follows:
