This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

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

The rules and regulations around grave stones are the responsibility of the owner of the cemetery, not the UK Government or Parliament. Cemeteries are usually owned by the local council. If this is the case, you could raise your 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:

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