The council can offer technical advice and ensure that your memorial meets the cemetery regulations, providing a lasting remembrance of a loved one.
There are strict 
Rules and Regulations regarding the sizes and location of memorials permitted at the Lawn and Hyde Cemetery.
Memorial Permit
No work on memorials may be carried out the cemeteries unless a
Memorial permit form has been endorsed by the Council.
This work includes any erection, inscription or renovation to any memorial, vase or kerb on any grave. An application giving full details must be made to the Officer on the appropriate
Memorial permit form and must conform to the
full rules and regulations.
The memorial permit must be signed by the registered grave owner/deed owner and accompanied by the correct fee, for more information see the
Fees and Charges List.
No permit will be issued until the full fee has been paid and all details provided are to the council's satisfaction.
Please note that due to data protection, we are not able to provide details of grave or license holders.
