Petition Recycling of Graves

More details

We petition that the government to allow the Reuse of Graves.

This would be to act on the recommendation of the Select Committee Inquiry of 2001 which found that: “A complete review of the law relating to burial and cemetery management, including churchyards, is required”.

It also said: “If the public are to continue to have access to affordable, accessible burial in cemeteries fit for the needs of the bereaved, there appears to be no alternative to grave reuse”.
