This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We were deeply saddened to read about the death of your little boy. Please accept our sincere condolences.

As we explained previously, we can't accept your petition because the Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Cemeteries and crematoriums are usually the responsibility of local churches or your local council. In this case, Carmountside Cemetery and Crematorium appears to be the responsibility of Stoke on Trent City Council.

You can therefore raise this issue with a local councillor, who represents you. You can use this page to find out who your local councillors are, and how to contact them:

You can also petition your local council - you can find out more here:

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
