Closed Establish a panel to adjudicate on disputes regarding headstones

Closed on

The Government should establish a panel to adjudicate on cases where someone other than the plot holder of a burial plot would like to change the inscription on the plot’s headstone. Current legislation means that only the plot owner can have the headstone changed.

An error was recently made on the headstone of a family member. As it was made by the plot holder I find myself in a position of not being able to get any resolution. I have been informed I cannot put a plaque over the name to correct the mistake as this would amount to criminal damage.
